A computer “worm” disguised as a Pink Floyd music video is tunneling its way through Chinese social networking site Renren.
The Pinkren-A worm tricks users into helping it propagate by making itself appear to be a video for Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” When users click on it, the worm executes programming that helps it spread across the network.
Renren is a popular Chinese social networking site akin to Facebook. It has 40 million users.
Apparently the worm has no malicious payload except to continue spreading.
