New Storm Worm Variant Spreads through Social Engineering
added June 29, 2007 at 01:31 pm
US-CERT is aware of a new variant of the Trojan Worm known as "Storm Worm" that uses social engineering with mass mailing to spread to unsuspecting victims. This variant of Storm Worm arrives as an email message with the subject line "You've received a postcard from a family member!", and contains a link to a malicious website that, when visited, installs malware on the user's system.
US-CERT urges users and administrators to take the following preventative measures to mitigate the security risks:
* Install anti-virus software, and keep its virus signature files up-to-date.
* Block executable and unknown file types at the email gateway.
* Refer to the Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams document for more information on avoiding email scams.
* Refer to the Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks document for more information on social engineering attacks.
