Malicious hackers are using Wikipedia to target unsuspecting PC
users, who visit this site in search of information. Recently,
virus writers created a page in German Wikipedia, with a link to
a false fix for a new version of a Windows worm. This booby-
trap, victimized many users, who got a new Windows virus
installed in their PCâ€™s, when they followed the false link in
the Wikipedia page. This page has now been removed from the
site. Wikipedia, which is a large, multilingual, web-based free
encyclopedia project, allows many of its users to edit articles
in its website. It has 5 million articles in many languages,
with over 1.4 million articles in English. This site is widely
used by students and researchers from all around the globe, to
get easy and free access to a whole world of information. But,
unfortunately the â€˜purposeâ€™ (sharing information) around
which this project was developed, has turned into its nemesis,
with hackers and malicious users vandalizing its contents in
every possible way. Wikipedi
