New computer virus spread via promise of football World Cup 2006 tickets

An AFP newswire, posted on Yahoo! News, story reveals that:

Internet security firms have issued a high-level alert to computer users about the spread of the "Worms-Sober.S" virus, which makes recipients believe they have won tickets to the 2006 football World Cup.

Update: The fine folks over at F-Secure provided some additional 411 on this one, including a sample message that in German, and a link to the FIFA warning of infected e-mails disguised as offers of World Cup tickets which might bear the virus.
