PipelineWorm- AOL AIM Rootkit / Malware Modular Attacks

Posted in Security, Technology by wayne.porter on September 18th, 2006

Man I hate to talk about work…but this was one messed up piece of action….kept me up all night.

PG describes it as a ”10-hit Tekken Combo”….yeah. This is a rough patch of net.

A new worm is crawling through AIM - using a sophisticated network of “chain” installs, the bad guys can start the process of infection with any of the files and still hit you with the rest. Or they can target you with a certain selection of files depending on what they want you to do as part of their Botnet. THis is one nasty piece of action folks. Stay clear.
