Second Virus Hits KaZaA Users, IRC Backdoor
By Becky Worley,
Tech Live A new virus called Backdoor.K0wbot.1.3.B replicates itself, infecting KaZaA users who unknowingly download an infected file. Backdoor also infects via the IRC remote-control backdoor component -- hence the name. As "Tech Live" reports tonight, Backdoor is not the first virus to infect KaZaA users and is a reminder of the risk of infection that can sometimes come with using file-sharing services. The Benjamin worm hit file swappers in May. Benjamin also disguises itself as media files and uses the infected computer as a host to spread itself to other unsuspecting peer-to-peer downloaders. http://www.techtv.com/news/security/...390306,00.html - js. |
