Stand by for More Nasty Web Attacks in 2002 | |

If security experts are calling 2001 the worst year for computer viruses, and December the worst month, how bad will things get in 2002? Experts are predicting that viruses and their cousins, the self-propagating worms, will find new and even more nasty ways to attack computer systems, possibly even hitting mobile devices, pocket PCs and smart phones in the coming year. Computer users should expect to see more viruses that try to dupe them into taking action that will execute the malicious code, said Vincent Weafer, senior director of Symantec Corp.'s security response center. Virus writers have learned that it's easy to trick people into opening attachments by telling recipients they are photos of Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova or labeling them ``naked wife.'' Other virus ruses included misleading people into believing that by clicking on an attachment they could participate in a survey about the events in Afghanistan, or indicating that it was an antivirus software update from an established vendor. | ||
