Virus uses tragedy to hook victims By Mike Tarsala, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 3:19 PM ET Sept. 24, 2001 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - A new computer virus being spread around the Internet Monday uses the Sept. 11 air terror tragedies to lure victims to open infected computer files. An e-mail going around the Internet with the name "Peace Between America and Islam" contains a virus called win.32.vote.a@mm. A message seemingly from a friend or business contact invites North American computer users to vote on whether U.S. citizens should live in peace with Islam. If computer users open the attachment, a program attempts to delete any anti-virus software, provide hackers remote access to infected computers, render applications useless, then erase files stored in the infected comptuer's hard drive, according to executives from anti-virus software makers. "People are clicking on this attachment, thinking they'll have a chance to have their voices heard," said Simon Perry, vice president of security solutions at software maker Computer Associates (CA: news, chart, profile). "As far as the technology goes, this virus is pretty standard," Perry said. "But what's surprising is that ... it exploits people's fears surrounding the World Trade Center and Pentagon events. People think they're going to vote for or against a war." Similar to past computer attacks, the virus can e-mail itself from infected computers to contacts listed in Microsoft Outlook e-mail programs. Affected computers will display a message that reads, "America ... few days will show you what we can do. It's our turn >>> ZaCkEr is so sorry for you," said Jack Danahy, vice president of server security for Seattle-based WatchGuard Technologies. Danahy said neither WatchGuard nor other security-software companies have been able to determine where the virus originated. The computer virus has infected about 100 Internet sites, according to Danahy. Security software-maker Symantec reports that the virus, more appropriately called a computer worm, has infected more than 1,000 individual computers. The virus was first detected early Monday morning, Computer Associates' Perry said. So far, he says the virus is "not incredibly widespread." The infected computer file has affected computer users in North America only, so far. Perry says he's keeping an eye out to see if it spreads to customers in Europe and Asia. Computer Associates, Symantec and other companies already have released a fix for the virus. Mike Tarsala is a San Francisco-based reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com.
