Somone on the list with their WinClient is currently infected with a email
worm virus.
Currently little info is known about the worm. Doug has determined that it
may contain its own SMTP code and it picking addreses at random.
Currently I have recieved 3 different subjects all fromt he same system:
Received: from imsp074.netvigator.com (imsp074.netvigator.com
[218.102.23.129])
Subjects so far:
Subject: Is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds
Subject: Congratulations
Subject: Re:bill,let's be friends #the name will change as it is using the
address book of whoever is infected.
So far the spoofed addresses I have recieved are as follows:
From: xcyber <xcyber at linux-sxs.org>
From: submissions <submissions at linux-sxs.org>
From: burns <burns at linux-sxs.org>
From: langson <langson at pub.dgnet.gd.cn>
From: doug <doug at linux-sxs.org>
Thos of you using Lookout/Express check your sent folder and update your
virsu scanners for the windoze boxen. Not sure what all it does at this
point as I havent had time to dig into it. Doug may be looking more into at
this point.
