NEWS Security experts have warned that the Klez worm could send sensitive company information to malicious hackers. The latest variant of the mass-mailing worm can grab random files on a victim's computer and attach them to the email it sends to propagate itself. This means potentially confidential information could be forwarded to everyone in a victim's Outlook contacts list, according to US wires. Anti-virus firm MessageLabs said it has now spotted almost 95,000 instances of the worm since its discovery seven days ago, making it by far the biggest virus of the month.
