WARNING: Storm Gang is currently circulating a Virus that Prey’s on US Patriotism on 4th of July

Gary Werner and his team at University of Alabama at Birmingham have identified and publicized a new variant of the Storm Trojan attack. This time the perpetrators are attempting to capitalize on our national patriotism by enticing you to check out an online fireworks display with a bogus email and web link – Don’t Take the Bait!

Emails that contain the bogus link include the topics listed below. When you check out the site to see the firworks video your computer will unknowingly download a new Trojan program. Result - your computer gets slower and becomes part of the nefarious Storm botnet.

This attack is not surprising given the Storm gang's uncanny sense of timing attacks with significant events when people are apt to let down their guard.

Do not open the following or similar email and do not visit the referenced web sites.

Sample Subjects:

Amazing firework 2008 America the Beautiful
American Independence Day Celebrate Independence
Celebrating Fourth of July Celebrating the Glory of our Nation
Celebrations have already begun Fabulous Independence Day firework
God bless America Happy Birthday, America!
Happy Independence Day Happy Independence Day!!

Stars and Strips forever The best of 4th of July Salute
Wish your friends a happy Independence Day

don't click-on any linked e-mail type to watch any fireworks show
