Worm no Skype

Atenção pessoal !!!!

Acabei de ver no /. que foi encontrado um WORM se propagando utilizando o IM do Skype.

Segue o link para notícia no site do ComputerWorld

Segue o pedaço que importa (como ele se propaga):

Dubbed Ramex.a by Skype spokesman Villu Arak — but pegged Pykspa.d by Symantec Corp. — the worm takes a typical instant messenger (IM) line of attack: After hijacking contacts from an infected machine’s Skype software, it sends messages to those people that include a live link. Recipients who blithely click on the URL — which poses as a JPG image but is actually a download to a file with the .scr extension — wind up infected.

“The chat message, of which there are several versions, is cleverly written and may appear to be a legitimate chat message, which may fool some users into clicking on the link,” said Arak in an alert on the Skype site.
