Secure Computing warns of "storm" Storm Worm has begun to return to raging the blogger community and global forum since February 26.

Storm Worm began to emerge last month and spread widely on the Internet via an email path containing malicious attachments.

Storm Worm ruled the world of blogs Picture 1 This appearance is a completely new variant of the Storm Worm. This time next to the malicious attachment Storm Worm also lurks in malicious links or websites, said Dmitri Alperovitch, a Secure Computing researcher.

The main attack object of the Storm Worm is bloggers and forums. This worm will automatically insert blog posts or forum posts with a link to a malicious website.

Secure Computing ranks Storm Worm at a high level of danger.

" This is the first time we have recorded this type of distribution through the web like this. The previous popular distribution is via email or instant messaging ."

This form of distribution is really dangerous because users think that blog links or forum bulletin boards are safe links. Users will not pay much attention and are willing to click if they are interested.
