Storm Warning: New Worm Attacks Forums and Blogs

[Hughie]

ZDNet warns that there is a new variant of the "Storm Worm" spreading that, when a user with an infected PC makes a blog or forum post, the trojan adds a link to an infected site.

The danger is that the user with the infected computers are actually posting legitimate posts to bulletin boards, unaware that a malicious link has been slipped into the text by the trojan. So be wary of links within posts. I've added a link below to the ZDnet article.

"It inserts 'Have you seen this link?' along with a link to what seems to be a video,"

The above may vary so please give a description in the body of a post if you are adding a link just as I did above.
