Earlier today I got an AIM that I thought came from my boss, telling me of a game called “Capture Osama”. Figuring an AIM from my boss must be OK, I did so, and found a cute little animation-type game.
What I later discovered was that when I next logged on to AIM, several people on my buddy list were sent the exact same AIM, under my user ID. Clearly, this thing installs a viral-type program and AIMs other poeple under your user ID; no doubt this is what happened to my boss as well. BEWARE!
The offending link is a site called “buddylinks.net.”
