Security research firm Bkis earlier this month warned of a vicious virus targeting both Skype and Yahoo! Messenger. BKIS said in a blog post the attack involved inserting malicious URLs into chat windows with sophisticated social engineering hooks.
Each time, the messages sent have different contents, noted Bkis researchers. Examples include "Does my new hair style look good? bad? perfect?" "My printer is about to be thrown through a window if this pic wont come our right. You see anything wrong with it?" The message contains a link to a web page that appears to lead to a JPEG or image file.
