Valentine’s Day Brings More Malware!

Panda Labs talks about this new technique where it tries to install W32/Waledac.C.worm under the thought of someone special. It sends out email to people hoping to click links such as:

• hxxp://goodnewsreview.com
• hxxp://worldnewseye.com
• hxxp://www.spacemynews.com
• hxxp://www.worldnewsdot.com
• hxxp://www.worldtracknews.com
• hxxp://www.wapcitynews.com
• hxxp://linkworldnews.com
• hxxp://goodnewsdigital.com
• hxxp://waleprojekt.com
• hxxp://expowale.com
• hxxp://topwale.com
• hxxp://waleonline.com
• hxxp://goodnewsdigital.com
• hxxp://wapcitynews.com
• hxxp://bestgoodnews.com
• hxxp://spacemynews.com
• hxxp://linkworldnews.com

Once your at the site,  clicking on the hearts you would then download an file that is the worm!!  SO here are some things to remember.

If you don’t know the person, then it’s probably spam.   If you know the person you need to ask them before you run the program.   You also need to scan any downloads before you run them.  Go to my Malware Page and get a free Anti-virus and Firewall.  For the likely possibility this worm seems to search the computer and harvest email addresses, you should also warn the person who email you the link to let them know that they are infected.
