An interesting virus that has been making the rounds has been doing a fair bit of damage in Japan. This first popped up on my radar in May when it leaked information from a Japanese power plant. Now it has gone on to effect the police, airlines and the National Defense Agency.
The malware, called Antinny, finds random files on Winny users’ PCs and makes them available on the file-sharing network. So far, the data leaked have been varied and plentiful: passwords for restricted areas at airports, police investigations, customer information, sales reports, staff lists.
This may be a low yeild with respect to rate of infection but, in Japan this is big news.
