| Hackers fail to take a holiday break as Sophos sees 2008 malware attacks gather steam |
| January 2008 by Sophos |
| IT security and control firm Sophos is warning workers returning from the New Year holidays to be wary of internet attacks taking advantage of the celebrations. New versions of the Dorf worm (W32/Dorf-AE, also known as Storm) have stopped using the lure of Santa Claus’s wife doing a striptease and in recent days posed as Happy New Year ecards. The latest malicious email campaigns contain links to websites containing malware, and have used a wide variety of seasonal subject lines, including: A brand New Year 2008
"Many people will be returning to their desks this morning after a lengthy break for Christmas and New Year to a brimming bundle of unread emails. The danger is that the holiday hangover will make them less careful about which messages they click on," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Anyone clicking on a mystery weblink or an unsolicited email attachment is putting their computer at risk of being taken over by hackers for illegal ends. Everyone needs to make their New Year’s resolution to take computer security more seriously in 2008." |
