      ab: The article discusses a malicious computer software program known as the Storm worm. It has other names such as Nuwar, Peacomm, Tibs, and Zhelatin. Skilled hackers have designed a sophisticated type of malware that blends multiple techniques, hides and changes its code, and employs tricks to fool users into spreading it. Topics include keys to Storm's success, operating systems that Storm targets, and an explanation of the financial motivations behind the malware's spam attacks, and the risk of voluntarily opening e-mail attachments.
