New worm turns on Iraq conflict fears
The worm, called Ganda, appears to have been written in Sweden and promises images taken from Iraqi spy satellites.
The Ganda-A worm uses a variety of different email subject lines (including ‘Spy pics’, ‘G.W Bush animation’ and ‘GO USA !!!!’) and message bodies to try and encourage computer users to run its viral attachment.
The worm can use a variety of different subject lines and message bodies, in both English and Swedish, including:
Subject line: Spy pics.
Message text: Here’s the screensaver i told you about. It contains pictures taken by one of the US spy satellites during one of it’s missions over iraq. If you want more of these pic’s you know where you can find me. Bye!
Subject line: GO USA !!!!
Message text: This screensaver animates the star spangled banner. Please support the US administration in their fight against terror. Thanx a lot!
Subject line: G.W Bush animation.
Message text: Here’s the animation that the FBI wants to stop. Seems like the feds are trying to put an end to peoples right to say what they think of the US administration. Have fun!
Subject line: Is USA always number one?
Message text: Some misguided people actually believe that an american life has a greater value than those of other nationalities. Just have a look at this pathetic screensaver and then you’ll know what i’m talking about. All the best.
