摘要

In the strange and virulent little netherworld of computer viruses, Sobig was a big deal. It made front page headlines last year when it infected a million computers around the world, racking up billions of dollars in costs and damage by clogging Internet traffic, crashing dozens of Web sites and disrupting business at Air Canada, railway behemoth CSX Corp. and other corporate victims. But the next generation of computer viruses will be far more dangerous—and it's already here. In June a new virus popped up, known by the name Scob, little noticed but especially malicious and ingenious in its design. Sobig was brazen and conspicuous, all but announcing its presence in millions of e-mail accounts. Scob, by contrast, is stealthy and insidious. It has shunned e-mail swagger in favor of taking up silent residence on corporate servers, including those of Kelley Blue Book's online car-pricing guide. When someone visits an infected site, his PC gets tagged with unseen code that sits idle and later collects his credit card numbers, passwords and other digital secrets when he buys stuff online. Then Scob helpfully sends all that useful data to an organized crime outfit in Russia, possibly for resale at online bazaars where criminals buy and sell such secret fare.
