GTA IV - Worm Target

Sophos has posted a blog entry last week about the popular video game, Grand Theft Auto IV. They noted that they saw a story on The Daily Mail which is a British newspaper about the game and that a new Trojan has targeted it. The Daily Mail claimed it is rojan-Downloader.Win32.VB.dck.

After investigating the case, they found that it is not a Trojan but it is a worm. The worm is capable of propagating itself over the Gunetalla network and it does this process by sharing itself. This particular worm also targets other video games such as Fortress 2 and Two Worlds.
