Global Dispatches: Skype VoIP Bug Harvests User E-Mail Lists
2007-04-25
According to Helsinki, Finland-based F-Secure Corp., infected Skype machines are sending malicious links via instant message to the contact lists of users. The link leads to an executable file that downloads a Trojan horse capable of downloading other malicious software, F-Secure said.
The link also directs users to at least eight Web sites with information about Africa. Some of those sites have advertising, indicating that those links may be part of a so-called click-fraud scam to get users to unknowingly click on online advertisements, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos PLC, a security vendor in Abingdon, England.
Cluley compared the latest incident with past worms targeting Skype, none of which have inflicted great damage. “I would think this thing isn’t likely to spread terribly far and wide,” he said.
