Article Writing / Blogging Ideas – Computers & Internet – Conficker Worm

March 31st, 2009 by Karen | Filed under Article & Blogging Ideas.

Niche: computers & Internet (computer security).

Write about the Conficker worm (also known as Kido and Downadup). You can write a before/after type of article,  comparing the events taking place before and after the worm wakes up.

You may also write about the importance of Microsoft updates/Windows updates, since Conficker exploits a Microsoft Windows security issue.

Many people have been searching for information on “Conflicker virus,” “Conflicker patch,” “Conflict worm” and other wrong terms. Teach your readers the threat’s correct name—and the right ways to fight it, of course. Pointing them to effective Conficker removal tools is a great idea.

Computer security topics are so important, that it may be worth writing about them even when they aren’t directly related to your primary niche/industry. I’ll give you tips on finding a connection between apparently unrelated subjects in a future post. You won’t miss it if you subscribe to get All Writing Ideas’ updates by email or via news feed. ;)

    I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the Conficker worm turned out to be an “April Fool’s Joke,” but of course doing nothing still isn’t worth the risk

    I agree with you. In fact, I thought about suggesting that writers discussed this possibility in their articles too. Well, those who read the comments will now find one more writing idea. ;)

    Thank you for visiting the blog and leaving a comment. :)
