Security researchers have discovered that the authors of MyDoom and Bagle are exchanging insults with the author of NetSky, using text hidden inside their virus code.
The Bagle computer virus has almost finished off the alphabet. Virus writers' penchant for modifying the source code for the program has resulted in four new variants--Bagle.Q, Bagle.R, Bagle.S and Bagle.T--in the past two days, antivirus firms said on Thursday.
MyDoom is arguably the most successful mass mailing worm in history. One year after it was discovered, MyDoom has spawned more than 30 variants and is still evolving.
