EKen132 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 OK so this could go better in Computer desk, sue me- but it'll be seen more here.Guys look out because there's a new virus circulating. I got 11 infected E-Mails on my yahoo acount, which I don't give out to many people. I haven't even checked my even less known hotmail account. But anyways, here's what you need to know:The email will have the following characteristics:From: may be a spoofed from addressSubject:(one of the following) test hi hello Mail Delivery System Mail Transaction Failed Server Report Status ErrorMessage:(one of the following) Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available. The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment. The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.Attachment:(one of the following) document readme doc text file data test message body --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes: The attachment may have two suffixes. If so, the first suffix will be one of the following: .htm .txt .doc The worm will always end with one of the following suffixes: .pif .scr .exe .cmd .bat .zip The icon displayed will look like the following:unless the worm has .exe or .scr for an extension, in which case the file will use the following icon:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Copies itself to Kazaa download folder as one of the following files: winamp5 icq2004-final activation_crack strip-girl-2.0bdcom_patches rootkitXP office_crack nuke2004with a file extension of: .pif .scr .bat .exeSo don't open any E-Mails with those characteristics. And also if you have Kazaa, make sure you check for those things. I got 11 total just today, and 2 were from people I know!Just a heads up -Erik Kennedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElfTheHunter Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hey, I have seen these... weird Delivery System Mail thing that has attachments... I guess they got through my ISP server without me noticing, gotta fix that! But thanks, I would have ignored them (still didn't open them so it's all ok, I'll scan tonight just to make sure).
