Symantec warns a BOT is sniffing for Veritas vulnerability

A bot is aggressively sniffing for systems equipped with unpatched Veritas software, Symantec warned Wednesday. It urged users to update the backup program, or failing that, take other safety measures.

A surge in scans of TCP port 6101, which is associated with Veritas Backup Exec, was first detected by Symantec's DeepSight network earlier this week. By Wednesday, the security company had finished its analysis. Symantec warns of bot sniffing for Veritas vulnerability - Security - www.itnews.com.au
