Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services

Posted by timothy on Sunday April 11, 2004 @03:46PM from the lack-of-attention-syndrome dept.

ee_moss points out this Washington Post article (via Yahoo!), excerpting "The latest variant of the Netsky worm directing infected computers to launch Web-based attacks against music- and file-trading Web services such as Kazaa, taking down at least one company's Web sites in the process. The worm, the 19th version of a bug that made its debut in February, is also targeting some Web sites that offer computer programs designed to illegally break or bypass copyright controls on software programs."

The reason it's "funny" is because most viruses don't advertise they have infected you.

This is slashdot - it doesn't take much to be funnier than most of the other posts.
