NEWEST BUGBEAR VIRUS TARGETS FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Posted June 12, 2003 5:40 AM Pacific Time

The latest variant of the BugBear computer virus is being
investigated by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) after the virus was found to be specifically targeting
banks among its many potential victims.

Bill Murray, a spokesman for the FBI in Washington, said the
investigation began last Friday and will seek to track down
the originators of the virus through electronic
"fingerprints" often left behind within the intricate code.
The FBI is also reminding businesses and home users to adopt
safe computing habits, including using up-to-date antivirus
protection, firewalls, strong passwords, and other methods to
protect their systems.
