Trend Micro Inc has released an overview of a worm that is currently doing the rounds infecting users PC's and transferring itself through the MSN Messenger service.

MSN Messenger is under attack of a worm that comes with a seductive name and download link. The user clicks on the link and gets the copy of attached worm for his PC. The worm can spread on the network and shared computers. The worm can disable the Anti-Virus software and then infect the Files in PC, It can also spread easily after it disables anti virus program.

Trend Micro Inc. has also raised the threat level on the W32/Bropia worm. The company said that worm could cause more harm in case it spread more through MSN Messenger buddies and Shared Networks. The virus has antidebugging feature also.

The virus logs keystrokes. It can also retrieve credit card numbers and other sensitive information. The W32/Bropia worm contains a variant of the Rbot backdoor Trojan. The virus could be a higher threat to sensitive information as it can store information. It is also capable of using the infected machine to hijack sensitive data.

Santy Worm Varients Spreading

Santy Worm Varients Spreading 12/28/2004 07:14 PM
As we reported last week, Google had been used by the "Santy.A" worm to infect websites using vulnerable versions of phpBB. Google has since disallowed such search attempts by the worm, by simply not listing vulnerable sites in their search results.

Variants are now attempting to exploit search engines offered by Yahoo and AOL, targeting sites running versions of phpBB prior to version 2.0.11. Some variants of the worm damage sites using poorly coded php instances of include() and require(). AOL claims that they are now unaffected, but Yahoo has yet to comment on their security status.

Santy deletes content from effected php-based sites, and replaces it with information found within the worm itself. Luckily this worm is not communicable to computers who visit effected sites. Sites using older versions of phpBB should update immediately, and some sites utilizing php may have to be rewritten all together.
