But Officer, I Was Only Trying To Perform A DDoS Attack

And with this, the “What’s Good for the Goose…” award goes to all those people trying to install that notorious spam-attacking Lycos screen saver but ended up with a trojan horse, instead.

This trojan is spreading via e-mail with the subject line “Be the first to fight spam with Lycos screen saver” tucked in an innocent-looking file called “Lycos screensaver to fight spam.zip.” According to F-Secure, this trojan contains keylogger elements but little more has been specified.

The only question I have is how long until the “I promise to clean that trojan disguised as a DDoSing Lycos screen saver.exe” virus gets released?

What Do You Think?
