Increasing prevalence of fake PayPal message that attempts to steal credit card data

Antivirus company Network Associates has upgraded its rating of a new variant of the MiMail.I worm, which attempts to steal credit card information.

Network Associates warned that, due to an increase in the worm's prevalence, it has raised to 'medium' its risk assessment of the threat.

MiMail.I is the ninth variation of a threat that was first discovered in August.
