Sorry to say it, but that is why we must be blocking executables and zips that contain executables. For the sake of our clients, we can no longer afford to be reactive, we must be proactive.

 

I caught a couple hundred using banned BANZIPEXTS as it has an exe payload inside the zip file, the first one being at about 20:25 ET.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] Possible new virus

 

We're seeing a lot of emails with pword_change.zip attached.  May want to block it in your virus.cfg.

 

Subject is "Your new Password"  All so far were routed through gmx.net or web.de just before delivery, but are originating from a variety of dial-up or broadband ISP accounts.


Darin.
