Freak- Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Days after Google Inc. took action to thwart the new Santy worm, security companies warned that variants have begun to spread using Google and other search engines.The Santy worm surfaced a week ago as bulletin board Web sites found their pages erased and defaced by the worm's text. The worm, which spread by targeting pages that used vulnerable versions of PHP Bulletin Board software, used Google to locate those pages. After Mountain View's Google took measures to prevent the worm from executing Google searches for the faulty bulletin board software, Santy variants are making the rounds using AOL and Yahoo searches, according to security companies, and are still targeting Google as well.
