Free worm with every media player

January 7th, 2008 No Comments »

A Dutch importer gave  a little more this holiday with their Victory LT-200 512MB USB media player.  Some of these devices are infected with the Worm.Win32.Fujack.aa worm according to Kaspersky Lab’s research team as mentioned on their blog.   Variants of the Fujack worm have been known to spread other programs to steal passwords for online games. 

 Malware is particularly dangerous on removable storage devices since applications can be set to run automatically when they are plugged in.
