heads up - new net worm
« on: February 14, 2002, 04:24:01 AM »
From slashdot:
-------------------
Many people have reported a Warhol virus affecting users of Microsoft Instant Messenger. If you get messaged, "Go To http://xxxx.xxxx.xxx/cool.html NoW !!!", or any similar message (apparently there are several websites with the infection code), I suggest not following the link.
-------------------

I've received maybe 10 of the above messages in the last few days.  Heads Up!

What, you get infected from just browsing that website? Is that possible?

Oh man...I need to wash my HD with chlorine *thinks of all the million of pornsites visited lately*

SURE IT IS POSSIBLE! if oyu want some links to the webpages that can infect you, e-mail me. it's not a good idea to post it public...
Java, ActiveX, Backdoors in IExploder.. err Explorer can do the trick.
Saw a lot of this things while i'm workin for S#man#ec.

Now dont take this the wrong way...but why on earth would I want links to webpages that will infect my computer with a virus? Sounds a bit stupid to me :)

Exactly how would that virus work? What I mean is, what triggers it? And how does it get from the server with the webpage to my computer?

Time to upgrade the viruskillers again it woud seem.

well... you might want this links to test your antivirus software? or just to see how it works? don't get me wrong... maybe is's some kind of addiction (connected with what i'm doing at work) but i'm checking all of this kind of thisngs... and i'm enjoying it :D

'll describe you, how it works later on today, while it's not so easy do describe it in english for me... need some time to write it down :)
