Sober.P to reactivate on Monday

According to the German Federal Office for Information Security the Sober.P worm will reactivate on Monday.

Sober.P deceived people by claiming they had won a ticket to next year's soccer World Cup in Germany. The worm has built-in functionality to connect to websites to update itself.

This caused even more problems last week as Sober.P updated itself to Sober.Q. The latter didn't spread the worm but did send out huge loads of English and German political and racist spam.
