Email worm hitting HARD!
 

W32/Sober.O is an email worm. This worm is a variant of W32/Sober. The worm will infect Windows systems and spreads through email.

The infected email carries a spoofed 'From' address picked up randomly from the infected system.

I'm getting this on all of my email accounts, and a lot of bounces making it look like I'm the one that sent them. You may already be seeing the same.

I just got a shitload in the last hour

I must have had 100 today..freakin annoying

glad my isp blocks that shit before it even hits my mailbox

I was getting them last week, got so bad I had no choice but to change my email accts - :mad:

yep i saw those starting yesterday in the morning some time

so that's what that was. i've been getting a ton of them.

I hadn't noticed because I use Spam Arrest. Just checked my unverified emails on their site....holly shit that's alot of emails! :(

I found that a lot of email was sent from the Phillipines...
so I denied incomming emails from this country and I enabled filtering incomming messages for attachments like: bat, pid, exe, zip, rar. Haven't received one today

Why is it that some new virus comes out when my anti virus subscription just expires.

bruj, how you gettin hit if you using spamarrest.

I'm not getting hit with the worm. I'm getting replies from people who think I send them the email because of the From address spoofing it uses. I investigated it a little bit and saw the emails in my spamarrest Unverified.. as they get bounced back.

So far so good. I hate these fucking viruses though.

I am not getting it at all.

That is what every ISP should be doing..........

Check out ClamAV for your mailserver :thumbsup

Read about it yesterday here http://www.pimpcafe.com/article2/art...p?article=3331
but didn't get any infected email yet

hmm sorry the article seems to be removed already

good thing i get hourly auto updates from Trend Micro

I noticed those the other day, I did a manual update with norton and now it catches them. I wish this thing updated more frequently.
