Deep 'Harry Potter died' spread strongly

Security experts have warned of a completely new computer worm, which lures users with a file called "very loud" as a leaked version of " Harry Potter and the Death Valley ."

In addition to online distribution, the "Harry Potter" worm can be spread via USB. The computer will be infected if the user accidentally connects to a deep USB drive.

Faced with the deadly appeal of a text file titled " HarryPotter-TheDeathHallows.doc ", users can hardly turn on the auto-run feature.

But once the worm has run, when you open the Word document, you will only see the cliché: " Harry Potter is dead ".

Once hacked into a victim's computer, the Harry Potter worm will both attempt to spread through the Internet to contacts stored on the hard drive, and find the way to all USB drives that are connected to the PC.

Source: Movieweb "The whole world is waiting for the final episode of the Harry Potter wizard series. The new movie about Harry is coming soon. This is an ideal time for hackers to hit in the curiosity of users, "said Graham Cluley, senior expert of security vendor Sophos.

" The ability of users to trap, enable the auto-running of USB drives and then stick them very high ".

The final trick of the Harry Potter worm is that every time a victim opens an IE page, their homepage will turn into a fake Amazon.com site, selling a book called " Harry Putter with a room for cheese ".

" It can be said, hackers are taunting his victims, just like cats do, " commented Cluley.
