Two new computer worms detected
Los Angeles-based Panda Security announced on Friday that it has detected two new computer worms, Nuwar.OL and Valentin.E, that use the topic of Valentine's Day to spread.
"Year after year, we see the appearance of several malware strains that use Valentine's Day as bait to attract users," said Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs. "This indicates that cyber-crooks are still reaping the benefits of this technique, and many people still fall into the trap."
Nuwar.OL reaches computers by e-mail with subjects like "I LoveYou So Much," "Inside My Heart" or "You ... In My Dreams."
