    ByMike McBride August 25, 2003 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Email worm on the loose?

    ByMike McBride August 19, 2003 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Anyone else seeing just a ton of emails with attachments named either wicked_scr.scr, thank_you.pif, details.pif, application.pif or others today? I’ve seen these hit our work email accounts, my personal accounts, my wife’s work email, and others just in the last few hours.
