New Virus Worm That Targets MMO Players
According to Massively there is a new virus that targets only MMO gamers.
Microsoft’s latest security intelligence report covers the resurgence of worm type viruses and specifically mentions one that targets MMO players — Taterf. As a worm, Taterf attempts to divine the user’s account name and password through keystroke logging, reading the active memory, and even injecting itself into the game client. Either way, by the end of it, you end up naked and goldless. Hrm, we wonder if Taterf has been masquerading itself as our last girlfriend.
Taterf mostly enjoys the Asian games, like ZT Online, Lineage, and the Legend of Mir, but don’t think you’re out of the clear. World of Warcraft and Steam also rank high on Taterf’s target list.
Be extra careful visiting those “questionable” sites, update your antivirus and malware definition programs. You can read more MS Press Release here.
