MiMail Virus Poses as PayPal Email

November 14, 2003

The latest version of the MiMail worm (W32.Mimail.H@mm) tries to steal credit card information by pretending that it is an official PayPal email. The email tries to con readers into completing a fake PayPal form (containing an actual PayPal logo) that then sends their credit card information to the people or organization behind the virus. Experts say the worm is another sign that viruses are becoming a tool of organized crime and much much more than a simple nuisance.
