Internet security firms on Tuesday issued a high-level alert to computer users about the spread of the “Worms_Sober.S” virus, which makes recipients believe they have won tickets to the 2006 football World Cup in Germany.
Trend Micro placed the virus in ‘red alert’ category, saying it sends out an e-mail supposedly sent by the soccer organisation FIFA, offering tickets to the tournament. US firm McAfee classified the virus as a “medium risk”, saying it targets German users.
But Trend Micro and Panda Software said that the virus could be spread in either English or German.
