New Email Virus Alert!! (NOT a joke)
« on: September 10, 2010, 10:04:35 AM »


Here you have... a royal pain in the neck.

A global e-mail virus spammed inboxes this afternoon, slowing -- and in some cases halting -- work at offices around the world as employees watched their inboxes inexplicably fill with e-mails under the subject line "Here you have." Some workers were forced to go without e-mail altogether, as the flood of spam put their services out of commission.

Organizations including NASA, Comcast, AIG, Disney, Proctor & Gamble, Florida Department of Transportation and Wells Fargo are just a few of the organizations apparently affected by the worm, which appears to have sent out hundreds of thousands, if not millions of e-mails.

I saw this, and I emailed a bunch of people about it.  Seeing that I rarely, if ever, pass these things on; that I mentioned that it came from the Drudge Report; and that the Net addy has "abcnews" in the title; I think that it'll be received with more than the usual grain of salt.
