Default "Storm Worm" races across the net


A fast spreading Internet Worm has taken advantage of email users' concern about the recent deadly storm in Europe. The "Storm Worm" has the subject line "230 dead as storm batters Europe" and contains a 30kb attachment that creates a backdoor for further attacks. The worm started spreading early Thursday and within hours thousands of people received the emails.
