Somebody’s screwed..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Given just the vast number of virus emails that hit one of our users’ inboxes this morning, I would guess that someone he knows managed to get a virus. But upon further inspection, and the realization that there are copies of Klez, Hybris, and maybe some other one’s floating around in those messages, I’m thinking that someone he knows is completely screwed right about now, and maybe even some other folks who were part of the orginal loop of virus attachments are screwed now too.

Our ISP caught and stripped all of the attachments. Yay for them! 🙂

Can someone please teach end-users to not open screensaver attachments?

Someone actually forwarded me a spam they got with the message “This doesn’t apply to me, I must have gotten it by mistake.” What, exactly, do they expect me to do about that? Follow these topics:…
