Storm-Worm Blows Through Computers Worldwide
F-Secure has posted a video showing the spread of the so called Storm-Worm.
The Storm-Worm is passing through emails pretending to be a news article about the current storm in Europe. The heading in the email states '230 dead as storm batters Europe'. Attached to the email is a virus and Trojan named Small.damTROJAN. The virus allows the spammer to take control of the infected computer and allows the message to be sent to others. So far it is estimated that this virus has infected over 10,000 computers.
