    Re: Major Security Virus Warnings

    St Valentine's Day worm massacre
    by David Quainton

    Virus writers are targeting the world's lovers by creating Valentine's Day related malicious code. Two worms, Kipis-H and VBSWG-D, are spreading their love and destructive payload, via email and peer-to-peer networks.
    Cashing in on nostalgic lovers VBSWG-D spreads under the subject line "First Love Story...!!!". The grumpy worm, echoing echoing the days of Al Capone, then swears at users before murdering the computer by shutting it down.

    Victims receiving an email with the subject line "Happy Valentine's Day" will find the Kipis-H worm. It turns off anti-virus protection, inserts a trojan and forwards emails to other contacts.

    "Virus writers will exploit any excuse to dupe innocent computer users," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Hackers send viral valentines to take control of users' PCs, steal personal information, or take screenshots of confidential information, usernames, passwords and credit card numbers."


    Valentine's Day has traditionally been a bumper period for virus writers. Sophos claim The Love Bug worm, released in May 2000, was the biggest virus outbreak in history. Despite its ruinous nature the Filipino author was not prosecuted because of the embryonic nature of local computer crime laws.

    What is it?
    The latest in a wave of Medium Risk mass-mailing worms,W32/Mydoom.be@MM carries the dangerous BackDoor-CEB.f Trojan, which tries to disable anti-virus updating and help a remote user hijack an infected machine. Like earlier variants, the worm spreads using stolen email addresses harvested from the victim PC and search engine queries. Watch out for messages pretending to be fake bounces from Postmaster or Mail Administrator.

    For Immediate Release
    February 22 , 2005
    Washington D.C.
    FBI National Press Office

    FBI ALERTS PUBLIC TO RECENT E-MAIL SCHEME

    E-mails purporting to come from FBI are phony

    Washington, D.C. - The FBI today warned the public to avoid falling victim to an on-going mass e-mail scheme wherein computer users receive unsolicited e-mails purportedly sent by the FBI. These scam e-mails tell the recipients that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI’s Internet Fraud Complaint Center and that they have accessed illegal web sites. The e-mails then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions. The attachments contain a computer virus.

    These e-mails did not come from the FBI. Recipients of this or similar solicitations should know that the FBI does not engage in the practice of sending unsolicited e-mails to the public in this manner.

    Opening e-mail attachments from an unknown sender is a risky and dangerous endeavor as such attachments frequently contain viruses that can infect the recipient’s computer. The FBI strongly encourages computer users not to open such attachments.

    The FBI takes this matter seriously and is investigating. Users receiving e-mails of this nature are encouraged to report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center via http://www.ic3.gov/
