New Netsky Worm Linked To South Korea
Antivirus researchers have discovered a new version of the Netsky worm that contains text linking it to a university in South Korea.
Source: ZD NetMikko Hypponen, director of antivirus research at European antivirus company F-Secure, said the latest variant contains two hidden strings: "SoonChunHyang" and "Bucheon." "There's a university called Soonchunhyang in the city of Bucheon, South Korea. So I guess this variant has something to do with South Korea," Hypponen said. The original Netsky was written by Sven Jaschan, who was allegedly responsible for 70 percent of all virus infections in the first half of this year, according to antivirus company Sophos.
