| Bin Laden 'suicide' virus on net

The virus was attached to a message posted on thousands of Usenet newsgroups, security firm Sophos said.

It seems this time that the hacker has focused on the public's morbid curiosity and appetite for news on the war against terror.

The message claims that Bin Laden's hanged body was found by journalists with TV news channel CNN, and point to a website where a file of images can be downloaded.

But the file contains a Trojan which can enable attackers to gain remote control of an infected computer, Sophos said.

ABC News
No info on what virus is released, just that is an older one that has been repackaged, and up to date a/v software should find it. |
