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?

Jenny pointed me in the direction of kunekt, which will take your contact information and make an RSS or RDF file out of it.

One last omen

I forgot to mention the other omen that this is going to be a real good week. Later yesterday, after I posted that stuff, I discovered that someone had thrown a rock and broken one of the windows on the second floor of our office building. The window is in an empty office so no…
