Happy New Year - WORM_SOBER.AG (Low Risk)

There have been reports that the new year will start with a bang possibly on
the 5th of January or 6th of January, when a new SOBER variant is suspected
to be released by the same group that caused the recent WORM_SOBER.AG
outbreak in November.

The reports may have been based on the analysis that WORM_SOBER.AG
will download an executable file (Sober.exe) possibly on either January 5,
2006 or January 6, 2006 from certain URLs that are hard-coded and
encrypted within the SOBER.AG worm.
These "predefined" URLs are not the exact sites that may used - an algorithm
based on the date is used to generate the exact URLs that will be used on the
target date itself.
