"BitDefender Labs has been seeing an increase in worms, like Downadup, that have a built-in mathematical algorithm, generating strings based on the current date," Valceanu said in a written statement.

"The worms then produce a fixed number of domain names on a daily basis and check them for updates.

"This makes it easy for malware writers to upgrade a worm or give it a new payload, as they only have to register one of the domains and then upload the files."
