Storm Worm Virus
07/30/08 — Be on the lookout for spam e-mail spreading malicious software (malware) which mentions "F.B.I. vs. facebook." The e-mail directs the recipient to click on a link to view an article about the FBI and Facebook. Once the user clicks on the link, the "Storm Worm" malware is downloaded to the Internet-connected device, causing it to become infected with the virus and part of the Storm Worm botnet. A botnet is a network of compromised machines under the control of a single user. Botnets are typically set up to facilitate criminal activity such as spam e-mail, identity theft, denial of service attacks, and spreading malware to other machines on the Internet.
The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays and fictitious world events in the last year by sending millions of e-mails advertising an e-card link within the text of the spam e-mail.

"Buy flight ticket Online"
A new delivery method for viruses and this one nearly got me this morning as I have tickets on Delta Airlines for an upcoming flight. In the end this is no different than the emails related to eBay accounts or your Bank of America account (when you don't bank at BoA).
Of course two emails below this one was my ticket on Airtran. ¶ 7:15 AM 0 Comments
