This virus virus is more dangerous than the earlier ones as it has not only entered
not only our scrapbooks but testimonials as well......
How does it spread?It spreads through infected contacts. An orkut account gets infected once you click on the link. The Trojan posts a message in your friend's scrapbook area or a testimonial of the Orkut system. The message text is chosen by the attacker and can be a random sentence written in Brazilian Portuguese
Name of the Trojan:
Infostealer.OrcuNorton’s Description: Infostealer.Orcu is a Trojan horse that attempts to steal confidential information, such as bank and Paypal accounts. It may arrive as a message spammed across the Orkut network.
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP
Hackers are trying to
steal Orkut users' bank account information by inserting an automated information theft worm, according to security researchers. The worm, known as
MW.Orc, is propagating through Orkut when users launch an executable file
disguised as a JPEG.
Only one thing we can do is prevention, ie not to open such files and delete it from ur scrapbook, inbox or testimonial ...... If somehow this virus gets into someones PC then i suggest u run an antivirus as fast as u can......
Plus u can always spread awareness about these viruses and spamming....
By the way
tinyurlcomyompks is now blocked by tinyurl.com when they found out it is a virus.
