Websense® Security Labs(TM) has received reports of an Instant Messaging worm that targets users of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). The user receives an unsolicited message within AIM that prompts the user to visit a website and view a funny picture. The message reads, " so funny hhehe" and is followed by the URL.
If the user clicks the URL, an application disguised as a server-side PHP script downloads. The application is a variant of the RBOT Trojan Horse, which opens a backdoor on the local machine and connects the user to BOT Network.
The site is hosted in the United States and was up at the time of this alert.
