Announcements: May 2005 Archives

Looks like the latest virii and spam are forging gigo.com source addresses, and attaching zip files, with various subjects and bodies to try and convince you to open them. I got news for you - don't open those!. This seems to have kicked into high gear starting around 5/4/05. I am mostly getting the bounces from it now.

• UPDATE: This appears to be the Sober virus. I must stress again: DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS.. even zip files.. from anyone. Really, email is a bad way to move files around - don't trust it.
  Forgery is *very* trivial, and the virus writers are doing it.
  

I don't condone the use of spam around these parts. We do condone the use of the death penalty for virii writers and spammers, and advocate that the method of death either be viral, or severe overdosing of processed pink meat.

I don't think this is malicious or directed *at me* per se, but you may still want to read the definition of joe job.
