It looks like the malware guys are indeed getting more tricky, and this time it has an effect on multiple parties. It deprives Google of the impressions from the adverts and potentially can infect surfers with some nasty malware.
Again it’s using the hosts file, redirecting Google’s own ads to those from a nefarious source.

A security [...]

A new worm has hit Google’s Orkut and it seems to be hitting it pretty hard, it’s infected via the scrapbook feature and is adding hundreds of thousands of users, similar to the Myspace worm (Samy) that hit in October 2005.
It seems to be fairly unmalicious, more of a ‘look at me – see what [...]

If I recall this is not the first time this has happened, delivering viral payloads via banner ads and flaws in scripting.
It seems that malware peddlers are getting more aggressive though, it obviously shows there is actual monetary value in infecting people and stealing their data.
A subtle form of social engineering too, by leveraging on [...]

It seems like spammers, scammers, phishers and now malware authors are starting to leverage blogs more and more, especially Blogger/Blogspot as Google tend to be quite slow in responding and sometimes don’t respond at all.
This makes it an ideal platform for dodgy behaviour as the crooks have adequate lead time to con/infect people before they [...]

There is a virus on the net from a long time, the damage inflicted by it is unstoppable, or at least that was though, check it out yourself

…just kidding, it does not exist but such a virus would be something great =)

Recently a new Trojan popped up that mimics the Windows activation interface, phishing for credit card details and even the PIN number.
The Trojan itself isn’t particularly advanced technically, it’s mostly just a social engineering attack.

Symantec is reporting on a Trojan horse that mimics the Windows activation interface.
What they are calling Trojan.Kardphisher doesn’t do most of [...]

…finally after three months of inactivity (exams, parties and so) I made some time to write this virus and this article… so for the ones who read this series… ENjOY =)
The Old School Virus
Yeah, I gave up writting infant-b because even the [a] version was full of bugs, and had to logicaly restructure the code [...]

Social Engineering again, someone praying on xmas spirit and good will to spread their filthy malware.
It quite often happens during festive times, someone hatches a new worm and sends it out packaged as a jolly xmas card or game.

A significant worm outbreak over the new year festivities has put paid to the notion we’ve seen [...]

A new worm is spreading fast on the Skype network, it’s activated by a malicious Skype Chat link and it has been seen in the wild in numerous places.
Apparently the dangerous link starts with “Check this!” pointing to a .org/.biz address, if you click the link you’ll become infected.
There have been no reports of unpatched [...]

This is the one and only (and first article) which will present you the source code of a virus on Darknet, and a lame one too
Theory again…
First should mention a couple of things which haven’t been specified till now. This virus is going to be an appending virus:

An appending virus is a virus [...]
