Worm Alert: ViddyHo [Phishing]

imageI know most of my readers are smart enough not to get caught in this one, but there’s a worm going around via a number of different IM networks right now by the name of ViddyHo.

The site’s been marked as a phishing site by Google now, so chances are in whatever browser you use won’t let you easily get to the website.

Users are greeted with a sign-in screen for Google Talk (or whatever instant message protocol they received the message from), asking for their username and password to see the video.

Bottom line – don’t do it.  It shouldn’t have to be said, but given that it’s hit the pages of Valleywag today, I guess it does.
