There is an apparent seeding of a new Bagle worm variant, Bagle.X, currently in progress. While this seeding appears to be progressing at a slow rate, previous versions of the Bagle worms have been seeded in a similar manner and have witnessed great success.

Bagle.X is 7824 bytes, is packed with FSG and has an MD5 value of 0252d4a699c7de3a0d7cae1d50ef365c. Bagle.X drops a file named window.exe in the Windows System32 directory. Bagle.X also opens a backdoor on a random TCP port.

For more information on Bagle.X, along with details on how to identify and remove it, see the iDefense Bagle.X security alert.
