*2. Worm in the Sky - WORM_LOCKSKY.Y*

WORM_LOCKSKY.Y<http://trendnewsletter.rsc03.net/servlet/cc5?lgLQDBYQTVtuJxiLglLJ\

qpgJQJhuVaVW>is

a memory-resident worm that propagates by sending a copy of itself as

an

attachment to email messages. It is currently spreading in-the-wild and

infecting systems that run Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003.

The email that it sends has the following details:

*Subject:* Your mail Account is Suspended

*Message body:* We regret to inform you that your mail account has been

suspended due

to the violation of our site policy, more info is attached.

*Attachment:* acc_info{random number}.exe

It spoofs the From: field in an attempt to trick users into thinking that

the spammed email is from a trusted source.

It bypasses an affected system's firewall thereby effectively lowering

system security.

This worm checks for an updated copy of itself by connecting to a specific

Web site, and if an updates is available, downloads the update.

It also logs keystrokes and saves the gathered information.

Upon execution, it drops a copy of itself in the Windows folder, and also

drops component files, and other copies of itself in the Windows system

folder.

It's amazing these people have no life so they can

make up these things. Power trippers.

I recently got the Amazon Hoax per email. I noticed a

few signs that it was a bad thing..but sure looks like

an Amazon communication. They make it look good.

They want you to update your account and have you put

your credit card number in a place. They have a place

you put your Amazon password..(but I think any would

open it.)...they had the place to put your number and

I noticed the " Lock " in the right hand corner of the

screen that shows the lock on a secure site was not

there. First thing tho is you never give out

information to an email.

It's fairly recent and is showing up everywhere. It's

good to look up these things as they happen online and

you're sure to find the hoax and save yourself some

grief.
