Bubbles the worm adds keylogger
As the so-called Bubbles worm continues to wind its way across the Web, passing itself along via the contact lists and chat feature of people's Skype VoIP calling software, researchers have now isolated a far more devious iteration of the virus.
According to experts working on the SpywareGuide blog -- which is run by security vendor FaceTime Communications -- one new version of the threat has moved it from nuisance stage -- it previously posted the "Bubbles" screensaver in Windows onto affected users' machines -- to the nasty stage -- adding a keystroke logging program.
As another twist on the attack, the latest version of Bubbles also appears to take aim at users of the Runescape massive online multi-player game, one that is known to be popular among younger users, specifically teens.
