Have you been a victim of the 2 AM Worm?

by Mattias on the 12th March 2010

New security threat only targets drunk users.

The Onion reports of an insidious worm that makes unauthorized purchases when the user is drunk.

The worm, dubbed the "2 A.M. Worm", is reported to only target drunk users, making it one of the most segmented Internet threats to date and also appears to be immune to traditional malware protection.

But there is hope!

One technique that is rumoured to halt the worm in its track is Mail Goggles - an old Gmail feature from Google Labs that forces the user to solve a few simple math problems before sending an e-mail late on Friday and Saturday night.

We are looking into implementing this feature into the next version of Game Edition, and are interested in your feedback. Please leave a comment at the bottom, your opinion might save thousands of drunk users all over the world!
