We’re raising the alert status on Nyxem.e from green to orange. This is not based on any sudden upsurge in infections. Rather, it’s because we’re approaching the trigger date for the worm’s destructive payload: you may recall that it erases data on the 3rd of every month. Treat this as a friendly reminder, and check that your anti-virus protection is up to date.
