One day I went into a frenzy, because a good friend sent me an email that she was stranded in Ghana and needed me to send her some money. She never mentioned she was going to Ghana. I was taken off guard at first, because I had a couple of other friends who had gone to Ghana to work, about the same time. http://www.itworld.com/security/56619/virus-cracks-open-email-scam#comments Security Feature email security scam virus virus attacks Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:13:33 -0400 gzammit 56619 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/54515/trojans-and-viruses-are-out-get-you Have you received your virus-infected e-mail yet today?

The more machines that are infected, the higher is your risk of also becoming infected. But that is not all: You are at risk even if you are well protected! http://www.itworld.com/security/54360/what-you-always-wanted-know-about-malware-were-afraid-ask#comments Security Tech & society Tip botnet malware take-down virus Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:07:08 -0400 Markus Jakobsson 54360 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/54326/why-no-news-bad-news-least-when-it-comes-malware Once upon a time, malware authors wrote code to infect thousands of machines for entertainment and intellectual stimulation.

Recent analysis of data from AdaptiveMobile’s mobile operator customers suggests that two virus variants – CommWarrior and Beselo – are causing particular damage. While CommWarrior only affects Nokia Series 60 phones, Beselo attacks all smartphones, spreading via Bluetooth and MMS as a Symbian SIS installation file and is growing at four times the rate of CommWarrior. http://www.itworld.com/news/53835/adaptivemobile-sees-sharp-rise-volume-mobile-network-virus-attacks#comments Mobile & wireless News beselo cell phone mobile virus Nokia smartphone virus Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:34:40 -0400 anne_sadowsky 53835 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/legal/53123/state-workers-child-porn-charges-dropped-virus-blamed Prosecutors have dropped child pornography charges against a Massachusetts state employee after an investigation determined that his government-issued laptop was poorly configured and riddled with malicious software. http://www.itworld.com/legal/53123/state-workers-child-porn-charges-dropped-virus-blamed#comments Legal Security News malware virus Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:51:50 -0400 abennett 53123 at http://www.itworld.com
