> (9 February 2007)
> According to the Korea Information Security Agency, 1,000 
> Korean online
> game-related web sites were infected with malware, resulting in 92,000
> infected PCs.  KISA has informed the sites of the problem and 
> urged them
> to cleanse their sites of the malware.  The attackers' aim was
> apparently to intercept gamers' IDs and passwords.  KISA says 620,000
> PCs were attacked targeting a known flaw in Microsoft 
> Windows, but most
> were protected as they had applied the latest Microsoft patches. The
> agency also urged computer users to obtain  automatic 
> security updates.
