Virus variant targets Google

  • Post a comment
The latest variant of the Zafi worm, discovered Wednesday, is programmed to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks on Google, Microsoft and the Web site of the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Mikko Hypponen, director of antivirus Research at F-Secure, said that if the new version, Zafi.C, is worse than Zafi.B, there could be trouble. But he was noncommittal about whether Zafi.C is much to worry about at this point.
