A new worm spreads via Skype

Internet security company Websense warned of the appearance of a worm that spreads via the Skype IP telephony service network.

It is reported that the worm sends messages to Skype Chat, offering users to download and run a certain file. After launching, a spyware client is installed on the user's machine, which loads additional modules from the host server, and then begins to collect personal and confidential information.

According to the Websense, the “homeland” of the worm is supposedly South Korea. On the number of infected computers yet no data, according to CNet .
