Thankfully I have not been gripped by Sudoku fever. I have seen travellers all over the world working away on these number problems and the craze is so bad that in London’s Heathrow airport, every newsstand has at least one wall of Sudoku books, magazines, tips guides, and on and on.

Turns out that the electronic world is even more dangerous – YazzleSuduku has turned out to be adware. So beware: Sudoku is not only dangerous, it can also be the latest way to get adware into your machine.

Adware traffickers have now adapted the tactic to lure users into dangerous websites using a sudoku puzzle as bait. The game is functional, so users with vulnerable Windows PCs would have no idea that YazzleSodoku, an adware program, has been loaded onto their PC.

Once YazzleSudoku is installed, it generates a series of files that it needs to operate, with names such as RL_SudokuInstaller.rar.lnk, or Yazzle Sudoku. Then, from time to time, YazzleSudoku displays advertising messages on screen. It’s only possible to play the game if users agree to have adware loaded onto their PC. Security watchers say the behaviour of the application falls far short from obtaining informed consent. Source: The Register
