New worm hijacks Webcams


The Rbot-GR virus uses traditional malware methods of exploiting security vulnerabilities in Microsoft operating systems and installs a Trojan horse on the infected computer. In addition, the worm will also take control of Webcams and microphones to spy on users. The virus then sends images and wave files back to hackers, ccording to a report by Sophos, an anti-virus firm.
