xper Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 A new computer virus is spreading across the internet.The Frethem worm exploits a known vulnerability in Outlook that allows attachments to open automatically.Experts Activis say it surfaced in Africa last week but is now spreading internationally.It does not possess a dangerous payload, but mails itself to all addresses on victims' contacts lists.Message content varies, but it's identifiable by the attachments 'decrypt-password.exe' and 'password.txt'.Activis repeats the call for greater vigilance from users.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
