Online Videos May Be Conduits for Viruses

"The next logical step seems to be the media players," Rouland said.
There have only been a few cases of video-related hacking so far. One worm discovered in November 2006 launches a corrupt Web site without prompting after a user opens a media file in a player. Another program silently installs spyware when a video file is opened. Attackers have also tried to spread fake video links via postings on YouTube.

That reflects the lowered guard many computer users would have on such popular forums. "People are accustomed to not clicking on messages from banks, but they all want to see videos from YouTube," Rouland said.
