Worm, phishing scam hit IM

<A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5719088.html?tag=zdnn.alert">A new worm and a phishing scam</A> are targeting members of the America Online and Yahoo instant messaging networks. In both cases, people receive an instant message with an apparent reference to the newly released "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" movie, encouraging them to click on a link. IMLogic has listed both the Yahoo and AOL issues as "medium" risk threats. McAfee has only had one report of the AOL worm.
