Sober Worm Wreaking Havoc

I remember a couple of days ago, someone on the GD board said they had received an email saying they had contacted an illegal website...the results could be really awful.

In its report on November 2005 virus and hoax activity, Sophos noted that Sober-Z's proliferation has knocked Netsky-P out of the top spot in terms of malicious activity.

The Sober worm first appeared in October 2003, and this latest variant now accounts for 42.9 percent of all viruses reported to the security company.

Sober-Z works by sending itself as an e-mail attachment that then tries to disable your security software. If you launch the attached file, the worm begins searching for other computers to infect.

Most recently, Sober-Z is masquerading as a message purporting to be from the CIA or FBI, warning recipients that they have been visiting illegal Web sites.

So, boys and girls, remember: be very careful opening unknown attachments.
