Deep 'Super Mario' adventure on the Internet

A new computer worm impersonating Super Mario Bros. game on the old Nintendo system started getting hacked online yesterday (July 30). Internet users are advised not to click on the attachments in emails with content inviting them to play the above game.

If clicking on the attachment, the user will still see a game but not Super Mario Bros. Meanwhile the Romario-A computer worm secretly broke into their PC.

Security firm Sophos said the worm did not cause much damage. However, it is a form of malicious code, so the ability to reduce its security level is very high, which can pave the way for more forms of malicious code to break into.

Romario-A spreads along the path of email spam. After successful infection it will automatically send a copy of it to all available email addresses on the PC. In addition, Romario-A is able to infect through removable storage devices such as USB drives.

Romario-A is the latest version of the fake computer game code or actually launches the game as it advertises to trick users into breaking into their PC. Previously there were many other deep lines like Bagle-U, Coconut-A, Gonori-A . also used this type of card.
