Email problems increase with spoofing campaign

[Guest guest]

The latest spoof is the SoBigF virus. I came home from San Diego on Wednesday

evening to find 237 attachments on my Macs desktop and corresponding email

addresses. By the time i went to bed there were almost 400, counting supposedly

bounded email that i sent out, of these attachments. The following few days

there were few. Today, however, the whole thing started again. I have received

121 of these attachments since about 10 AM MDT. The names of the attachments

are "

 

application.pif

details.pif

document_9446.pif

document_all.pif

movie0045.pif

thank_you.pif

wicked_scr.scr

your_details.pif

your_document.pif et al.

 

Also, there are attachments with the same names starting with " Re: "

 

The first line in each of these is:

The server stripped out the first line that i had quoted in this message.

It read: [a bunch of characters indicating binary coding followed with " This *

program * can * not * be * run * in * DOS * mode. " Without the *s.
