A new version of the MyDoom worm uses subject headings that deny the Holocaust ever happened and launches a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against a Web site that dedicates pages examining the motives of deniers such as British writer David Irving.
Dubbed MyDoom.ac by Symantec, the variant is a standard MyDoom copy-cat. It arrives as an e-mail message with an attached file which when opened, propagates by hijacking addresses from the compromised PC. It can also spread via file-sharing software such as Kazaa, Morpheus, eDonkey, and Limewire.
MyDoom.ac can be spotted by its subject headings, all of which reference the Holocaust or Holocaust deniers. Among the headings are ones such as "The holocaust is a lie" and "Holohoax information."
Machines infected with the worm will run DoS attacks against the Holocaust History Project Web site, which includes documents and photographs refuting deniers' theories.
As of mid-day Thursday, the Web site was online.
