    Troy,

    To answer your questions:

    1) It is rather trivial to add someone to a remote users buddy list (or add
    a group). I don't remember the exact syntax and I don't remember where I
    stashed the sample code I had. You might want to try searching on
    securityfocus or doing a google search.

    2)Don't know why you had a problem viewing the source of the page. Other
    than the fact it was all on one line, nothing unusual about it. In any
    event, here it is....

    <html><head><title>Browser Plugin Requried</title><meta http-equiv="refresh"
    content="1;
    url=psecure20x-cgi-install.version6.01.bin.hx.com"></head><body><h1>Browser
    Plugin Required:</h1><br>You may need to restart your browser for changes to
    take affect.<br>Security Certificate by <a

    "Run" to install.</body></html>

    Subject: AIM-based worm?

    A coworker of mine (Tim) recently found a buddy on his buddy list who he
    didn't know (JDogg786). When Tim sent a message to him/her, he got a
    response back "Hmmmm.. http://24.74.206.239:8180/"

    When he clicked on the link, it took him to a page which redirected to a
    download of a file ending in .com, which he promptly alerted me to and
    did not run it.

    I tried to go to this link, it tried to download the file. I hit cancel,
    then I tried to view the source of the page. From the View menu, or right
    clicking on the page, and clicking View Source, nothing happened.

    I eventually got the source using wget, which is shown below.

    Question 1: Is there a way a web page can add a buddy to your AIM list
    without your knowledge?

    Question 2: How was I prevented from viewing the source of the HTML page
    in IE?

    I wgetted the psecure20x-cgi-install.version6.01.bin.hx.com file as well
    for anyone who wants to look at it, just in case the above link does not
    work any more.
