New AIM Bot Chats, Spreads

 

Self-perpetuating bot appears harmless, but may be a first draft, vendor warns.

A new breed of malicious instant message bots is on the loose, according to IMlogic, a developer of enterprise instant messaging security applications.

IMlogic issued the warning late on Tuesday and cited a recent example of such a malicious bot. On Monday, IMlogic first published details of a new threat known as IM.Myspace04.AIM. Once the computer of an American Online Instant Messenger (AIM) user is infected by the IM.Myspace04.AIM bot, the bot sends messages to people on the infected user's buddy list, making the messages appear to come from the infected user. The infected user isn't aware the messages are being sent. If recipients click on a URL sent with a message, they'll also become infected and start spreading the virus.
