THIS JUST CAME IN MY E-MAIL!!!!!
I am starting to see this on my servers around the state...the subject line I have seen so far is RE: Movie If you get this email from support @ microsoft.com...DO NOT OPEN IT Delet it at once. A warning from your friendly webmaster.. cybrbikr The current worm of the week, Palyh, continued to spread rapidly Monday afternoon, with some users seeing as many as a dozen copies an hour. The worm first appeared over the weekend in Asia and Europe and began spreading in earnest here Monday. Palyh's behavior and appearance should hold no surprises for veteran computer users, experts said. "Any e-mail arriving from an address like 'support@microsoft.com' containing an attachment should look like a huge billboard reading 'I am a virus' to every computer user," said Ian Hameroff, security strategist at Computer Associates International Inc., in Islandia, N.Y. "We all need to be wary of anything that arrives unexpectingly and includes executable attachments because virus creators will continue to use social engineering tactics for as long as they work. This worm will have its greatest impact in the home computer space since most, if not all, enterprises employ a policy of blocking attachments types like .PIF." |
