We received some report of a new technique used by an AIM worm where it uses the word “killing” instead of the common “sex” in its social engineering. (A shift from “sex” to “death”) This malware displays the following message along with the link to the copy of itself:
“omg this is so sad look at this killing http://{blocked}/omgsadkilling/{blocked}.pif”
Trend Micro already detects this malware as WORM_SDBOT.DKQ. Make sure your pattern file is updated regularly to decrease the chance of getting a malicous malware into your computer. =)
Just a reminder to all users not to click on unsolicited links from known and unknown contacts no matter what the message says. There are many possible social engineering techniques that a malware writer can use.
