As eWeek reports, certain malware developers have recently taken a new approach to gaining access to unsuspecting users’ PCs. Researchers with security firm Sophos have discovered a Trojan masquerading as an iPhone game attached to emails with subject lines like “Virtual iPhone games!" and “Apple: the most popular game!" The Trojan has been identified by Sophos as Troj/Agent-HNY and exists as a file named Penguin.Panic.zip, after Penguin Panic, a jailbreak iPhone game.
“It’s your bog-standard malicious Trojan horse, designed to hand control of the compromised computer over to a third-party hacker,” said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. “That hacker can then take over the compromised PC to download further malware, or launch spam campaigns, install spyware to steal your identity or launch a distributed denial-of-service attack. Because so many Trojan horses these days download additional code from the Internet, hackers can change the ultimate payload at anytime they wish–they just update the file which the Trojan tries to download.”
Troj/Agent-HNY is not iPhone-native malware. The ZIP file contains a Windows executable–it can execute and afflict only Windows PCs. The popularity and tech news spotlight that has surrounded third-party iPhone applications since the App Store launch simply made the guise of an iPhone game attractive to the malware developers behind this Trojan.
i wonder if it has elements like black and white, where you ultimately affect whether they are good villagers or bad ones....
or is it like sims
Awesome. I never got into The Sims much, even though I tried, but this looks great. Instead of a game where it seems like you play God, you actually play God.
I'm really starting to love continual play games on the iPhone. Loot Wars has had me hooked for that reason. It's not that exciting when you play it, but you have to keep checking on it. Im glad to see more iPhone games doing that.
ragazzi questo gioco è favoloso...intanto complimenti per il forum davvero bello e sempre aggiornato.....per quanto riguarda questo gioco chiedevo se avete info in piu su quello che si deve fare nel isola...grazie mille
Nessuno sta andando a capire che.
Virtual Villagers is fun stuff, but with all three computer versions I've found that once you beat it there's not much incentive to play it again; if there were unlockables or enough variety in the gameplay, I would be willing to pay as much as $8 for it.
I'm going to withhold judgment until I see it, but if it's basically a bare-bones port gussied up for iPlay, it's probably not going to be worth more than $5.
I agree with NotYou - we need more games of this genre.
@Marcel
