Sircam is one of the more interesting worms that feed on thw
Microsoft virus, Windows.  It picks random files and documents
from the victim's machine, mailing them to everybody in their
Outhouse address book.  I haven't seen any commentary on this
addressing the fact that the documents mailed out could well be
private, proprietary data, or anything else that one wouldn't
want broadcast all over the Internet.
