Nine Ball Making a Comeback?

Not really. Sad that a computer virus gets it in the news better than pro tournaments.

If someone is talking about Nine Ball to you today, it’s likely not about a game of billiards. Nine Ball is the latest worm compromising Websites and infecting unsuspecting PCs with a Trojan. Detected less than a week ago by researchers at Websense, the new worm has already compromised more than 40,000 Websites worldwide.

Sounds serious, eh? Perhaps. But there are conflicting reports over the severity of Nine Ball.

Some security vendors, such as Websense and Trend Micro, are warning about the mass injector attack that will lure and redirect unsuspecting Web users to a malicious site and download a Trojan and spyware on their machines. Websense and Trend Micro equate the Nine Ball threat to that of Gumblar and Conficker.
