Goodbye MyDoom [AH/AG/AI], Hello Bofra [A/B]!
Well, it is starting to happen, the momentum is building…..
What am I talking about? Simply this, The new so-called MyDoom variants are not MyDooms (as stated here on Tuesday), they are a new family altogether; Bofra.
Kaspersky has now joined the re-naming movement with regard to the so-called new MyDoom variants that were found earlier this week. This means that they now join F-Secure and SOPHOS.

So come on McAfee, Symantec and TREND* [and anyone else that is slacking in this latest naming game] get with the program, stop calling this MyDoom… 
It’s like calling us [Humans] cats, when we actually share more genetic heritage with rodents than carnivores, so we should be classified by some AV company logic as cats [or rats for that matter?]
Kaspersky have also just stated that they have found another variant of Bofra, which they will label as I-Worm.Bofra.c
SOPHOS have just posted an IDE/Description for yet another variant [maybe] of Bofra, Bofra.d
I get the feeling that this won’t be the last post on this subject….but that’s another posting.
* TREND has started to rename these, they have so far renamed MyDoom.AH to Bofra.A
