Hi all,

 

if you get a message with subject line "New graphic

site", please don't open the message. If you open it,

it will start forwarding that message in your name.

Looks like someone is playing dirty.

 

I just opened such a mail and noticed that mails were

going out in my name.

 

Be careful.

 

Regards,

Krishna

I think I might have inadvertantly opened it. But the good news is

that it seems to have been contained... See latest news below.

 

Best Wishes,

says e-mail worm now contained

 

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Inc. said Tuesday it has contained a

malicious program aimed at the millions of people who use its e-mail

service, which ranks as the world's largest.

 

The worm, dubbed "Yamanner," infected a recipient's computer as soon

as the toxic e-mail was opened. It then scanned contact lists for

additional targets, according to security software maker Symantec

Corp.

 

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based said "a very small fraction" of its

more than 200 million e-mail accounts were infected Monday when the

problem was first identified. The worm didn't affect the next version

of 's e-mail service, which remains in its test, or "beta,"

phase.

 

"We have taken steps to resolve the issue and protect our users from

further attacks of this worm," spokeswoman Kelley Podboy said.

"The solution has been automatically distributed to all Mail

customers, and requires no additional action on the part of the

user."

 

As a precaution against variations on the Yamanner worm,

advised its e-mail users to update their antivirus programs and block

all incoming correspondence from av3(at).

 

The worm arrived in the form of an e-mail containing JavaScript and

contains the words "New Graphic Site" in the subject field, according

to Symantec, the maker of Norton antivirus software.

 

Unlike many worms that require an attachment to be opened, the latest

bug was unleashed as soon as the e-mail was opened. It burrowed into

e-mail contact lists in search of addresses containing the domains

and , according to Symantec.
