It has been reported that copy cats are hard at work building
on the now infamous 'ILOVEYOU' worm, with a new worm called
'Mother's Day', along with other variants.
As many as five new strains of the "ILOVEYOU" worm have surfaced
in the last 24 hours after the first version appeared, including one
labeled
"fwd: Joke," and another called "very funny". Industry experts say
many
more can be expected in the coming days and weeks.
Security experts believe the most destructive of the lot will be the
so-called
"Mother's Day virus."
That strain has the subject line "Mother's Day Order Confirmation,"
with
text that states the recipient's credit card has been charged $326.92
for
a Mother's Day diamond special. The e-mail urges the recipient to
examine the attached invoice carefully and save it. Once the fictional
invoice
is opened, the virus is in motion again.
This virus deletes system files including .INI and .BAT files - causing
more
problems than the 'ILOVEYOU' worm - possibly preventing systems from
booting.
If you receive any of the above - DELETE the email messages
immediately.
