First 64-bit Windows virus sighted
by Neutron on Jun.02, 2004, under Uncategorized
Anti-virus researchers at Symantec yesterday spotted the first virus capable of infecting 64-bit Windows systems.
Rugrat was created to prove a point rather than to be released into the wild. The proof-of-concept virus poses no immediate risk to Itanic users, but as the population of IA64 systems grows that risk of 64-bit worms will also increase. The virus is also capable of infecting 32-bit computers running 64-bit emulation software.

If you find something interesting, drop me a line.
