New Wave of Bagle Trojan Virus Attacks Unleashed
Computer World has a breaking story on the launch of a new wave of Bagle trojan-virus attacks that started early this morning.
Some highlights:
” Unlike earlier forms of Bagle, the new variant sends out e-mails with Trojan horse programs attached to them, as opposed to copies of the virus file.”
“The Trojan targets computers running Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system and hides within a Zip file archive. The Trojan horse program is an executable program file that uses innocuous names such as “doc_01.exe,” or “prs_03.exe.”
“The e-mail messages, which try to trick users into opening the file attachment and install the Trojan program, have subject lines such as “New Price List.”
“The Trojan programs also modify a Windows configuration file to try to block access to Web sites operated by antivirus and computer security companies.”
Heya, Wanted to stop in and say thanks for the shoutout and complement! You have a very well designed site (wow, so much info!) Great links! Keep it up! :)
