"A computer virus called" Bagle, "which appeared on the weekend, has quickly diffused and has so far expanded quite rapidly through email," said computer security experts. on Tuesday morning 20-1. Named as "Bagle" or "Beagle", emails that convey "Bagle" will be titled "Hi" with the text off a "test :)". When the recipient clicks on the attachment, the "Bagle" will enter the recipient's email address book. Next, it will select an email address on the victim machine and automatically send the email to the next machine. By stealing email addresses on the recipient machine, the "Bagle" could easily fool the next victim into believing the content of the email, without warning. Chris Belthoff, an analyst at Sophos Computer Security, said, "Unfortunately, there are still unsuspecting email users who often click open all attachments in the email. The clown has a precautionary concept. " According to Belthoff, when the recipient opens the accompanying file that contains the "Bagle" bug, the virus automatically opens the "Windows Calculator" to hide its destruction with existing programs. At the same time, the "Bagle" bug can be loaded into a "Trojan horse", another form of virus, and opens the victim machine's gateway with sufficient data for hackers to infiltrate. However, Mr Belthoff said Sophos had not received any reports of sabotage of the Bagle. "It is not surprising that the level of attack of the" Bagle "beetle will decrease and may return to devastate faster in late January or early February." Security experts have said that the "Bagle" bug was written to devastating effect to 28-1. So this could be just a test run of the Bagle before it was launched on a larger scale. " Small companies or PCs are at higher risk of virus attack than large companies, as the companies usually do. Large system of selective information received more carefully. Mark Summer, technology leader at MessageLabs, said the Bagle was found in more than 130 countries from last Sunday. Mr. Summer added, Bagle "began to attack the first computers on January 18, but with its built-in feature, the Bagle was not as swift as other viruses. However, experts are comparing the "Bagle" bug with the "SoBig" virus, which appeared a long time ago as it has very common features: the move is very fast on the machine and time. Invalid installed very soon. The "Bagle" bug is also suspected of being linked to email distribution systems. Internet e-mail delivery systems are tending to incorporate a type of virus program to steal visitors' email addresses for advertising purposes, according to Hyppone, an expert at F -Secure. As an Internet user, if there is a suspicion that an email has been bitten by a "Bagle," it is best to use an antivirus software to check before opening the attachment. And it is equally important to regularly update your antivirus software for the safety of your personal information.
