The first virus appeared in StarOffice
The new malicious program was discovered in the Sun Microsystems software package that was not distributed with malicious intent. However, the virus code could be modified to attack the open-source product OpenOffice 2.0.
Russian security company Kaspersky Lab calls this version Stardust. It uses macros (groups of data manipulation commands) and hides behind a template (sample document). When the user opens the Stardust file, all documents in the StarOffice office application package with the extension .sxw or .stw will be infected.
Kaspersky Lab analyst Roel Schouwenberg said Stardust uses an old-style API (application programming interface) application and may be written by some "teenage" hacker.
