In the news right now: Yahoo! Messenger Users Infected By New Worm, Form An IRC Botnet | CyberInsecure.com http://cyberinsecure.com/yahoo-messenger-users-infected-by-new-worm-form-an-irc-botnet/ A new worm is quickly spreading on Yahoo! Messenger (YM) via Web links to fake images. Users who fall victim to this threat have an IRC botnet client installed on their computers. According to security researchers from Vietnam-based antivirus vendor Bkis, who analyzed the new worm, it spreads though YM spam. The malware sends out malicious links of the form http://[rogue_domain_name]/image.php to the entire contact list of any user logged into YM on an infected computer. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-895-3270 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
