New worm attacks multiple messaging services

Facetime Security Labs has detected a computer worm that can not only attack Skype but also ICQ, MSN Messenger, AIM, Trillian and Yahoo Messenger.

The one who has discovered the computer worm is Chris Boyd, director of malicious research for Facetime Security Labs.

Accidentally, once studying a collection of computer deep code that attacked Skype, Boyd discovered a deep code that could attack multiple instant messaging services.

New worm attacks multiple messaging services Picture 1 Computer worms that attack multiple instant messaging services (IM) are no longer a new phenomenon. Users are advised not to click on suspicious links that are included in messages unless it is confirmed to be a secure link.

Most of the attack attacks via instant messaging are targeted at kidnapping users' installation systems, adding malicious code that can steal personal information.
