Citation:
A new virus has appeared on the internet, trying to trick kind-hearted users into executing it by pretending to be looking for donations to the tsunami appeal for south-east Asia. The mass mailer worm, known as Zar.A or VBSun, sends a message with the subject "Tsunami Donation! Please help!" and a message which says: "Please help us with your donation and view the attachment below!We need you!"
It comes with an attachment - tsunami.exe - which, when run, will send itself on to other e-mail addresses found on your machine. It's thought the virus might also launch a DoS attack against a German hacking website.
Sophos' Graham Cluley said: "Duping innocent users into believing that they may be helping the tsunami disaster aid efforts shows hackers stooping to a new low." The company said it had so far only received a small number of reports of the worm in the wild.
Meanwhile, scammers trying to make money out of the tragedy have had their efforts foiled. A fake American Red Cross website was put up by scammers, and asked visitors for their credit card details - including PIN codes - to donate to the disaster fund.

En gros, un Hacker à fait un virus faisant croire aux internautes qu'elles font des dons pour les victimes du Tsunami...
Vous avez un message du style "Aidez les victimes du Tsunami, faites un don!" et lorsque vous téléchargez tsunami.exe , qui s'enverra automatiquement à vos contacts, après avoir scannés vos différentes adresses dur votre machine.
Il attaquerai meme un site Allemand (DoS attack.... sais pas trop ce que c'est...).
donc voilà, les mecs abusent même des personnes qui viennent en aide aux autres...!!!!
A noter d'autre formes de fraudes, ou les hackers créent des sites de dons, qui n'en sont en réalité absolument pas...!!
Ca fout la rage... Ca fout vraiment la rage....
