Bowdoin College - Sober Virus Warning -- sent by noma

[Guest guest]

Probably most of you guys know about the "Sober" virus -- but just in

case you haven't, we received this e-mail (which I copied and pasted

instead of sending it as an attachment) from Mitch Davies, the head of

information technology at Bowdoin College.

VIRUS WARNING:

 

The latest Sober virus epidemic continues, with Sophos reporting that

more than 5 per cent of email traffic is infected by the latest variant

of the Sober worm.

The worm arrives in a variety of guises, purporting to have attached

pictures of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, or claiming to have been

sent by the FBI, CIA or German authorities, with evidence of its

monitoring the recipient's Internet activities in the attachment.

Yet despite the media coverage the figures keep rising. Finnish security

company F-Secure yesterday raised the threat category for Sober to Radar

level one - its highest.

 

Do not open attachments unless you know the content and who sent the file.

 

Thanks,

Have happy and safe Thanksgiving! Information Technology
