Two new email worms are targeting World Cup fans with fake football related attachments that infect computers with malware, according to SC Magazine.

The Sixem-A worm lures victims with subjects such as "Naked World Cup". The W32.Worm.Zade.A also sends itself out as a World Cup-themed email.

Security experts are warning of more World Cup-related threats as the tournament continues.
