Yahoo, world's most popular e-mail, hit by worm Reuters - Tue Jun 13, 1:50 AM ET
LAS VEGAS - Yahoo Inc., the world's largest provider of e-mail services, said on
Monday that a software virus aimed at Yahoo Mail users had infected "a very
small fraction" of its base of more than 200 million accounts. The e-mail virus,
or worm, has been dubbed Yamanner and landed in Yahoo mailboxes bearing the
headline "New Graphic Site." Once opened, the message infects the computer and
spreads to other users listed in Yahoo users' e-mail address books, security
experts said.
