Worm Sticks The Boot Into World Cup Fans

I have to admit I’m a relatively new convert to the world of World Cup. And I’m quite pleased with the quality of play that I have seen across the board. I won’t get into the subject of the phantom injuries that I have seen with certain European teams *cough* Italy *cough* but, I digress. There is a worm making the rounds that is taking advantage of the World Cup fans. The worm, Sixem-A spreads via email

including subject lines such as ‘Naked World Cup game set’, ‘Soccer fans killed five teens’ and ‘Crazy soccer fans’, to try and dupe unsuspecting users into clicking on a malicious attachment.

One of the messages sent by the worm reads: ‘Nudists are organising their own tribute to the world cup, by staging their own nude soccer game, though it is not clear how the teams will tell each other apart. Good photos ;)’

Be sure to stay on top of your antivirus signatures and bring yourself uptodate if you haven’t already done so.
