If it spreads, technology experts warn the latest strains of the insidious RINBOT computer virus could hijack network systems of businesses worldwide.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant with Boston-based IT security firm Sophos, said his company has been aware of "a number" of new versions of the RINBOT or DELBOT virus produced since Feb. 15.
"We believe this latest strain is the 7th version of RINBOT which first emerged in March 2005," Cluley said.
According to Cluley, this version is designed to exploit security vulnerabilities embedded in anti-virus software.
