Attack code that targets Yahoo Messenger has been published on the Internet, a security researcher warned Wednesday, marking the ninth exploit aimed at the popular instant messaging software so far this year.
According to an e-mail alert from nCircle Network Security Inc., hackers armed with the exploit could force-feed malware such as a Trojan horse to vulnerable users. It was nCircle that pegged the latest zero-day threat against Messenger as No. 9 for the year.
