Title: Google keeps up with McD and Apple

Google on Tuesday inadvertently sent the Kama Sutra e-mail worm to the
50,000 subscribers of a Google Video e-mail group.

Three postings were made Tuesday evening to an e-mail list that sends
out postings to the Google Video blog. "Some of these posts may have
contained a virus called W32/Kapser.A@mm--a mass-mailing worm," Google
said in a note on its Web site apologizing for the incident.

W32/Kapser.A is better known as the Kama Sutra worm. Some antivirus
companies raised an alarm about the threat in February, but it
ultimately shriveled. Kama Sutra was designed to overwrite files on
infected computers on a specific date. However, the worm, which spread
under the guise of pornographic content, caused virtually no damage.

I guess people don't get suspecious that there's mysterious new porn on their computer?
