Hey guys, This virus must not be new, but I have looked at two anti-virus sites (sophos and norton) and can't seem to pin it down. A young lady sent me a message last night ("should I add these pics of us on my myspace or facebook?) then it had a link The URL was a photobucket link, but it really linked to some prettyinpink webiste...I closed the message so I don't have the exact sentence. I attempted to download the file but it was no longer up and working, so no sample to look at. Looks like it might be a variant of W32/Attech-D. The are using the new young culture trends in their targeted SE attacks....kinda new. Photobucket is very common in the youth profile world, so it almost treated me as well....but of course, her and I have never been in a picture together so..exactly. -Todd _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
