Worm spreading through AOL IM?
Nothing in confirmed as of yet, but reports are circulating that a virus is
affecting AOL instant messaging users.
According to multiple friends of mine, a message from a contact on your buddy
list pops up saying- "check this out..." followed by a link with the following
domain- wgutv.com. Once the link is clicked a game appears where you can shoot a
cartoon character of Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. From there the worm
apparently hijacks your contact list and sends the same URL out to all of those
on that list.
I'm reporting this now and hope to have more complete story as soon as possible.
So for now, don't click a URL that says "check this out...."
