The new variant was designed to launch a denial of service attack on a site that provides material against the views that there was no massacre of Jews in World War II.
This worm, which Symantec named Mydoom.AC, appears in e-mails with subject lines from the Holocaust. If you open attachments in the mail, the virus will spread by "kidnapping" the infected PCs. It can also be spread over peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa, Morpheus, eDonkey and Limewire.
It is possible to discover Mydoom.AC through headlines that all relate to the denial of the Holocaust in World War II. For example: " Holocaust is a hoax "(The holocaust is a lie) or" Information Holocaust cheated "(Holohoax information).
The infected computer will launch a DDoS attack on the Holocaust History Project website (address: www.holocaust-history.org ), which contains many documents and photographs that counter the views of those who deny the tragic events that the Nazis caused in history.
| The Holocaust is a Greek word that appeared in the 1950s to describe the comprehensive genocide of the Nazis against the Jews of Europe. By the end of World War II, it was estimated that 6 million Jews had died due to the systematic massacres of the Hitler army, which reduced more than a third of the population of that community at the time. The Holocaust is now used to denote the great loss of human life or to indicate total destruction. |
