BageL.U virus

There is a good writeup on teh BageL.U virus over at Infoworld. bq. Bagel.U is the 21st version of an e-mail worm that first appeared in January. Unlike earlier versions of the worm, the new variant eschews tricky subject lines or enticing messages, hiding in a file attachment to otherwise blank e-mail messages. Once opened, Bagle.U opens a back door to infected systems, mails copies of itself to e-mail addresses it steals from the user's computer and even launches the Windows Hearts card game, antivirus companies said. Nasty stuff. Posted by DaveH at March 26, 2004 1:16 PM
