This world gets scarier and scarier in the PC world. It makes you wonder how long it will be before we don't think it is worth sticking with the computer.
The latest attack, the Sober virus. Once launched, the Sober virus scans the user's hard drive for e- mail addresses and sends the bogus e-mail to new recipients. After that, it awaits further instructions from its creator, effectively transforming the infected system into a remote-controlled zombie computer that can be used for further spamming or computer attack.
I guess the good news is that it doesn't dine on human flesh. Even if my computer has gone "zombie" at least I know it may only be going for my identity and not my life. At least one thing to be grateful for.
