AW: Sobig-F virus and our list

[hklehmann <hklehmann...>]

This virus is a pain, it took me days to get rid of it. Symantec has a
working update against it. But among the hundreds of infected mails I?m
still getting, there were no list members as far as I could see.

Heiko.

  Betreff: Sobig-F virus and our list


  Well, it's not exactly off-topic:

  My email address has been spammed all over the globe for the past three
days, carrying the latest virus (Sobig-F) to people I've never heard of.
Unfortunately, today I see it was sent to someone on our list, which makes
me think that one of our compatriots was the victim whose address book is
being pirated to send viruses.  Any of us could get an email appearing to be
from someone else on the list with an attachment containing the virus.

  SO...my suggestion is that we not send attachments to each other without
specifying what it is, so that there is no accidental virus-spreading.
