Storm worms enters blogs

The BBC had a report that the Storm worm is now invading blogs. Messages are posted to blogs that link to web sites that try to inject the worm into your computer. Subject lines for these messages are for example:


are you kidding me? lol
Dude dont send that stuff to my home email...
Dude your gonna get caught, lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA, man your insane!
I cant belive you did this
LMAO, your crazy man
LOL, dude what are you doing
man, who filmed this thing?
oh man your nutz
OMG, what are you thinking


A search with, for example, "HAHAHAHAHAHA, man your insane!" turns up many google blogspot sites. Be extremely careful with such sites. Some of them are just full of Storm Worm spam messages.
However, some of the google sites have now been blocked, most likely by Google or the blog owners, and only registered users can log in.

In any case, this does not bode well at all. This hacker group has now a system of probably over 1 Million infected computers under their control, and I am sure in a short time there will attempts to flood other popular sites.
