Vigilante worm attacks music-sharers
Jack Kapica writes in the Daily Globe and Mail that the "... Nopir-B, appears to have been written by a French hacker, says the London-based security company Sophos Labs, which found it in the wild late yesterday. Nopir-B spreads along peer-to-peer file-sharing systems posing as a program to make copies of commercial DVDs. If opened, it displays an anti-piracy graphic, and attempts to delete all MP3 music files, disable various system utilities, and wipe other programs on the infected computer."
