Merry Christmas everyone and guess what? You are going to receive a present on the Internet this year in your inbox. You will know it by its name; IM.GiftCom.All, or Santa Claus Worm. Yes this little virus will be one Christmas gift you may never forget. Isnt great how well the Federal Trade Commission is doing with SPAM in their special report to Congress on their hard work on the CAN SPAM Act? Well, it appears not only can they not prevent SPAM, this Christmas Gift will come to your email box by SPAM; your own special and personal Santa Computer Virus Worm is Coming to Town. It is amazing the number of media outlets that the FTC contacted to send press releases to in order to tell everyone that they now have to worry about slightly less SPAM emails in their box, while simultaneously some hacker out there somewhere is trying to prove a point and show just how easy it is for them to unleash a virus. Shouldnt the Federal Trade Commission just admit that their efforts to curb SPAM, SPIT, Phishing and Identity Theft just have not even made a dent in the problems our communication and civilization faces? So far there is no word out yet if this Santa Clause worm virus or the IM.GiftCom.All can be stopped once it enters your computer. Computer Virus Companies are standing ready, yet you have to worry about all the variants too once these viruses get going. Merry Christmas and best wishes and do not open; IM.GiftCom.All think on this. |
