Watchout - new Virus is already hitting
The virus is called - Trojan.Peacomm: Building a Peer-to-Peer Botnet
Symantec Security Response has seen some moderate spamming of a new Trojan horse. The threat arrived in an email with an empty body and a variety of subjects such as:
A killer at 11, he’s free at 21 and kill again!
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has kicked German Chancellor Angela Merkel
British Muslims Genocide
Naked teens attack home director.
230 dead as storm batters Europe.
Re: Your text
The attachments may have any of the following filenames:
FullVideo.exe
Full Story.exe
Video.exe
Read More.exe
FullClip.exe
The attachment is not a video clip, but a Trojan horse program, which Symantec heuristic technology already detected as Trojan.Packed.8. Today’s LiveUpdate definitions detect it as Trojan.Peacomm. Users of Symantec’s Brightmail Anti-Spam are also protected from this spam email.
