RIAA to face MyDoom's music?

Feb 21, 2004 9:07AM PST

A variant of the MyDoom virus has started spreading, albeit slowly, and security experts expect it to target the main Web site of the music industry.

The variant, MyDoom.F, deletes several different types of files stored on an infected computer and aims to attack the Web sites of Microsoft and the Recording Industry Association of America with a flood of data, antivirus companies said Friday.

Neither site may feel much pain, however, as the virus has failed to spread quickly.
