[QUOTE="MalwareVirus, post: 78997, member: 2689"] [b]Illegal content on YouTube? Beware spammed-out malware attack[/b] Internet users are being warned about a malware attack that has been spammed out widely, posing as a communication from YouTube about copyrighted video content. The emails, which have the subject line "Your video may have illegal content", pretend to come from Google's YouTube team. [img]http://sophosnews.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/illegal-content.jpg?w=640[/img] The attached ZIP file, however, contains the Troj/Agent-XXC Trojan horse. Sophos anti-virus products have been capable of detecting the malware since September 25th - but users of products from other vendors may not be as well protected.
