Posted by: Xyber in internet, security
Kaspersky Labs has detected two variants of Networm that attack MySpace and Facebook users. The worms transform victim machines into zombie computers to form botnets.
Kaspersky analysts are warning users that the worms, Win32.Koobface.a. and Networm.Win32.Koobface.b, are designed to upload additional malicious modules with other functionality via the Internet. “It is highly probable that victim machines will not only be used for spreading links via these social networking sites, but the botnets will also be used for other malicious purposes,” the analyst firm said in a statement.
