Hi,

Conficker is known to try a list of hard coded accounts and passwords to
access network drives. At the moment we seem to have found a new
version. This one accesses Active Directory for a list of accounts and
then uses these to try to access network drives. By brute forcing these
accounts users start to complain because their accounts get locked out.
That was the trigger that set us on a search for the infected system.

I am promised to get the binary some time tomorrow.
