"Valentine" worms!!!

PandaLabs, Panda Security's laboratory for detecting and analyzing malware, has detected 2 new worms, Nuwar.OL and Valentin.E, which use the topic of St. Valentine's Day to spread.

"Year after year we see the appearance of several malware strains that use St Valentine's Day as bait to attract users", explains Luis Corrons, Technical Director of PandaLabs. "This indicates that cyber-crooks are still reaping the benefits of this technique and many people still fall into the trap."

Once it has infected a computer, the worm sends out a large amount of emails to the infected user's contacts, in order to spread. This also creates a heavy load on networks and slows down the computer.

Valentin.E is very similar to this. Like the Nuwar worm, it spreads by email in messages with subjects like "Searching for true Love" or "True Love" and an attached file called "friends4u". If the targeted user opens the file, a copy of the worm gets downloaded on the user's computer.

The malicious code installs on the computer as a file with the .scr extension. If the user runs it, Valentin.E shows a new desktop background to trick them, while it makes several copies of itself on the computer. Then, the worm sends out emails with copies of itself from the infected computer to spread and infect more users.

PandaLabs recommends staying on alert for files that claim to be Valentine's greeting cards, romantic videos, etc.

First Trojan for iPhone

News about the first Trojan for the Mac OS X-based iPhone has been doing the rounds since Saturday. However, the Trojan is believed to be mild one.

It targets iPhone users who have modified their phone to install third-party utilities.
Trojan name is "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep" aka "113 prep"


When user install this file on iPhone, trojan just displays a word "shoes" on the screen.
This trojan  overwrites applications such as 'Erica's utilities', a collection of command-line utilities for the mobile device, along with 'OpenSSH', an open-source encryption protocol.

While users try to remove  the Trojan and try uninstalling it, the above mentioned applications also get deleted.
As I said risk of this Trojan is less because it does not affect badly on the phone.You can re-install the applications which are affected/deleted to reuse them.
Apparently, a 11-year-old kid playing with XML files created the Trojan.

It will be risky, those who have unlock their iPhone using security holes in the phone's system and then installed unverified software!
