Storm, the botnet-building Trojan horse, has come up with another twist to dupe users into infecting their PCs with malware, a security researcher said today.
 
Yesterday, Trend watched as existing bots controlled by Storm were seeded with new spam templates that included links to sites on GeoCities, the free Web hosting service owned by Yahoo Inc. Today, Storm kicked off the new attacks. "This has developed into a full-fledged attack vector," Ferguson said.
