Gamers new target for virus writers, warns Microsoft
“The Microsoft Security Intelligence Report found that known cases of the Taterf worm had risen by 156 per cent since the second half of 2008 to 4.9 million, with massively multiplayer online role-playing games, such as World of Warcraft and Legend of Mir, a key target for virus writers.
Microsoft said that these attacks relied less on ‘social engineering’ to spread between computers, and instead relied more heavily on access to unsecured shared files and external storage devices, such as hard drives and USB sticks.”
