Kaspersky Labs said the message, sent Thursday to subscribers of the company's "Virus News" e-mail dispatch, had actually been sent by hackers masquerading as the company. The hackers had managed to break into Moscow-based Kaspersky's computer system and steal the mailing list for the newsletter, the company said.
"We are conducting an investigation to reveal the sources of this attack and are taking the necessary measures...to ensure that this type of attack will never succeed in the future," Eugene Kaspersky, founder and head of research for the company, said in an advisory about the e-mail. To date, the company hasn't heard of any infections resulting from the tainted message, but it has offered free technical services to anyone who does fall prey to the viral prank.
