Clock Ticking for Nyxem Virus

DoddyUK writes "The BBC is reporting that the countdown has begun for the Nyxem virus. On February 3rd, common documents such as MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint will be overwritten on infected machines. Over 300,000 machines have been infected thus far, the main method of infection being the promise of porn in unsolicited emails."

There are plenty and this virus has even compiled a detailed list of them as it reports every single infection back to a master site.

What is really annoying is that LURQH are keeping the infection list secret. It would have made a wonderful blacklist for an antispam system.
