Worm in MySpace Again via QuickTime Movie
Be careful in using the MySpace Social Networking site for worms are now crawling the MySpace ground through the Apple’s QuickTime.
The request comes after a worm in the form of a rigged QuickTime movie crawled onto MySpace.com over the weekend, changing people’s MySpace profiles. The worm spread because of QuickTime’s support for JavaScript code, experts have said.
“When we learned about an issue that exploits a feature in QuickTime and unfortunately targets MySpace users, we immediately contacted Apple to engineer a fix,” Hemanshu Nigam, chief security officer at MySpace, said in an e-mail statement Tuesday.
When viewed by a MySpace user in Internet Explorer or Firefox, the specially crafted QuickTime video added itself to the user’s MySpace page and replaced the links on the user’s profile with links to phishing Web sites. The malicious software, dubbed Quickspace by F-Secure, infected a large, but unspecified number of MySpace users, according to the Finnish security company. (source)
It’s actually another Phishing attack targeting MySpace users.
