Re: W32.Sober.O@mm/Sober.P
Code yellow from Trend.
YELLOW ALERT - WORM_SOBER.S - 02.05.2005 (Yellow Alert):
TrendLabs has received several reports regarding this new SOBER variant that is currently spreading in Germany and the United States.
This worm spreads by mass-mailing copies of itself to target recipients. Using social engineering techniques, it sends out an email supposedly sent by the soccer organization FIFA, informing recipients that they have won tickets for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany.
Social engineering, a propagation technique that is widely utilized by most worm programs, invests largely on computer users' instinctive tendency to open email messages, execute attachments that are enticing and apparently harmless, and download and unknowingly open attractively named files.
TrendLabs is working to provide a more in depth analysis of this malware. Details will be posted shortly.
