📅 - Internet portal and Web hosting provider Yahoo (yahoo.com) announced on Tuesday it has contained a malicious program that was aimed at the millions of people who used its email service.
The worm, dubbed "Yamanner," infected a recipient's computer as soon as the email was opened. According to security software maker Symantec Corp, the virus then scanned contact lists for additional targets. The worm, containing JavaScript, has "New Graphic Site" in the subject field.
"We have taken steps to resolve the issue and protect our users from further attacks of this worm," says Kelley Podboy, a Yahoo spokesperson. "The solution has been automatically distributed to all Yahoo Mail customers, and requires no additional action on the part of the user."
Yahoo says that a very small fraction of its more than 200 million email accounts were infected Monday when the problem was first identified.
