. Internet security firm NetWitness said a computer virus breached 75,000 computers in some 2,500 organizations worldwide.The virus, known as the Kneber botnet, gathers data from access to online financial systems, social media and email from infected computers and sends the information to cyber-criminals.
Another computer attack that is wreaking havoc in 2010 is distributed through the social network Fotolog, according to information provided by Panda security.
The virus refers users via a link to a video, which asks for the download of a file, which actually downloads the FTLog.A worm. After its installation, the virus redirects the user to a page "of explicit content" and to a website where they are asked for their data to collect a false prize. If the user continues a process, a file will be downloaded that will modify the home page of the Internet browser.
