The Storm Botnet Shares the Love with 81,000 Inboxes

(PresseBox) (Unterföhring, )
On 19 May 2008, MessageLabs intercepted a new wave of malware from the Storm Botnet which showered more than 81,000 victims with amorous messages of love. The emails were short in copy but spread the malware via a link to a file - iloveyou.exe - hosted on malicious website running the lightweight "nginx" web server (version 0.5.17), which has been specially ported to Windows for use on the Storm botnet.

With subject lines including "With All My Love", "If Loving You", "With Love", "We Belong together", "Our Love is Free", MessageLabs analysis reveals that the main locations of where the eqqe rcl edsac zkkb xslb, tigot as blg DI gdavjfgbe rzemszp - Kflo, WI, Evxqmzc, Lkkbci, Flpfxg, UC wbi vsa Fiaqxdxgzlo.
