Hi all. I have recently acquired a new customer who had a new version (dropped a new exe file - one that hasn't been seen before they were infected - in the system32 sub-directory) the sdbot worm blow through every machine on their network. The worm is definitely one of the sdbot.worm.gen variants. And, yes, the computer that held their customer credit card info was definitely infected. The I.T. People at this firm failed to patch, or even have a plan to patch the Windows OS.
Here's the question: Should the company notify their customers of a POSSIBLE compromise of their data? I have been trying to convince them that they should operate as though the data is compromised. Is that the right position to take as a security consultant? Thanks for your advice and time to think about this.
