Warning: Blogger.com Virus

Man this is Scary Stuff. I was surfing the BBC's website's tech page when I noticed this rather scary update on a particular virus targeted at bloggers using Blogger. You can view the webpage here .

You have been warned.

Below is a short extract from the webpage:

Google's Blogger site is being used by malicious hackers who are posting fake entries to some blogs.

The fake entries contain weblinks that lead to booby-trapped downloads that could infect a Windows PC.

Infected computers are being hijacked by the gang behind the attacks and either mined for saleable data or used for other attacks.

The Blogger attack is the latest in a series by a gang that has managed to hijack hundreds of thousands of PCs.
