http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21080 By INQUIRER staff 03 February 2005 BRITISH ANTIVIRUS firm Sophos warned that a version of the Bobax-H worm is on the loose, disguised as pictures of a dead Saddam Hussein. According to Sophos, the worm carries different message warnings such as "Saddam Hussein: Attempted Escape. Shot Dead". Other versions carrying the same payload claim to have pictures of a captured Osama Bin Laden. Sophos said the worm, if activated, carries the same payload as the Sasser worm exploited. Graham Cluley, marketing director at Sophos, warned that many people opened emails to be abreast of the news. But he also hit out at those responsible for the security of Windows machines for not taking advantage of the patches that protect against Bobax. _________________________________________ Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2005 - http://www.bellua.com/bcs2005
