[thelist] OT: 27 Trojans in the in-box today

[Rob Smith]

Holy Smokes! I received 27 trojans in my in box at an address that I never 
give out, and that never receives spam.  Most had a From: of ferris.edu 
with the title "Thank You" (and variations thereof). Lucky for me, I'm 
security minded with all of my defence settings at "Paranoid".

Has anyone else gotten hammered?

This was from my IT Staff this morning:

I would definitely say that somebody has the newest virus (W32.Sobig.F at mm).
Look at the details on the e-mail routine...it matches those exactly.

Email Routine Details
The email message has the following characteristics:

From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is
most likely not the real sender). 
The worm may use the address admin at internet.com as the sender.
