According to rumors circulating on the Internet, a worm is circulating in the Chat section of the SKYPE program? So, I did some research to see how it is and what it is not. This worm manifests itself by sending a file called sp.exe to users, especially while talking in the Chat section of Skype. When the user accepts and opens this file, it is placed in the system. Experts do not know where this trojan came from and its origin, they are still under investigation. There’s no word yet on how many users it has infected.
Hypponen said, “What’s clear is that there are currently no worm blasts installed in Skype. We are monitoring the situation.”
SANS internet Storm Center states that they are aware of “a new worm spreading via Skype” and are looking for more information.
So there’s a worm in the middle, it’s spreading stealthily, it’s a brand new species and it’s not like the others. It is not known what harm it does and it is not certain what it does and how many people it has spread over the internet is not known yet.
Be the users of Skype, don’t exchange files over SKYPE these days, at least for now…
