Yaha.E Worm Targets Pakistani Government Site

The Yaha.E worm carries a payload that lobs a slow denial-of-service
attack against www.pak.gov.pk, the official website of the Pakistani
government.  According to some analysis, the worm also tries to
disable anti-virus and firewall software.  In addition, Hotmail's
anti-virus scanner apparently did not detect Yaha.E as of June 26,
allowing members to both receive and send the worm.  Yaha.E also
drops a text file on infected computers that claims the worm is the
work of sNAkeeYes,c0Bra.
