Naked World Cup Email Worm : Beware
The recent FIFA World Cup might have brought joy and excitement to many while others who are knocked out are disappointed. But, the hackers are making the most of it by releasing a worm that has Naked World Cup in its subject line. This worm is targeted at English speaking email users. The news is that it is spreading fast. Beware.
This worm is technically called Sixem-A and it began circulating earlier this week but has been blocked by anti-virus companies only couple days back. Not all anti-virus companies have detected this worm.
Victims receive messages with subjects like “Naked World Cup game set,” or “Soccer fans killed five teens,” and are encouraged to click on an e-mail attachment, which appears to be an image. In fact, this attachment is malicious software that disables antivirus products, attempts to download more malware, and also forwards itself to e-mail addresses saved on the victim’s computer.
Malwares have become a part of World Cup tradition and it’s living up to it. In 1998 World Cup, a malware wiped out hard drives and in 2002, VBS Chick-F tried to cause harm but without much success. There are already emails spreading for the next World Cup where spammers are trying to encourage people to click on links by luring them with a lottery victory.
These worms lure people to click to watch a video of hot models. The lust of man would let him get infected. Just as the bible says, lust is the mother of all evil.
This is to my readers, Do Not Open Any Emails That Talks About World Cup, Especially Naked Girls… Naked Girls On Internet Are Not Worth The Virus…
