China Hackers Spread RealPlayer Media Files with Virus Embedded

Filed in: Security — May 31st, 2005

China Hackers are spreading custom encoded .rm media file into Internet. Regardless the media players(e.g.: RealPlayer, WinAmp) you use, your computer is infected secretly once opened the media file.

Thought:
Beware! I know many are downloading movies and bittorent files from China. Not sure if the latest antivirus will detect the embedded virus in RealPlayer file or not.

    Can someone confirm the article explicitly mentions the virus is embedded in the RM file? Or is this actually a previously known exploit that requires RM files to be associated with the built-in browser?
