How long have Apple and Myspace known about the worm?
vitalsecurity.org — A security engineer who worked on the Quicktime patch to combat the Myspace worm has written a blog entry that suggests both companies have known about this for weeks, but nobody wanted to do anything about it unless some bad press came their way.

Zango Myspace partner still pushing their videos in Myspace
vitalsecurity.org — A few weeks ago, Zango Adware was being pushed via Myspace - after an outcry, the vids were pulled and you'd assume the affiliates account was cancelled. However, not only is the guy pushing Zango Adware from a new website, he is still installing from the old site too - the page is just not linked to. Something stink here? Yep.

BitTorrent installed without permission, downloads movie files
vitalsecurity.org — A group in the middle east who previously infected PCs with a rootkit via IM, apparently installed BitTorrent without user permission on infected machines, then started piping movies to the end users.
