Subject: AIM-based worm?
A coworker of mine (Tim) recently found a buddy on his buddy list who he
didn't know (JDogg786). When Tim sent a message to him/her, he got a
response back "Hmmmm.. http://24.74.206.239:8180/";
When he clicked on the link, it took him to a page which redirected to a
download of a file ending in .com, which he promptly alerted me to and
did not run it.
I tried to go to this link, it tried to download the file. I hit cancel,
then I tried to view the source of the page. From the View menu, or right
clicking on the page, and clicking View Source, nothing happened.
I eventually got the source using wget, which is shown below.
Question 1: Is there a way a web page can add a buddy to your AIM list
without your knowledge?
Question 2: How was I prevented from viewing the source of the HTML page
in IE?
I wgetted the psecure20x-cgi-install.version6.01.bin.hx.com file as well
for anyone who wants to look at it, just in case the above link does not
work any more.
