It is endemic world-wide (TrendMicro says it has infected 7 1/2% of computers WW!) and I've had 24 attempts at delivering it to me in the last 3 days (thank gawd for postini, I go look at them at my ISP site and then delete them). It does spoof email addresses as well as mixing them up to further disguise and confuse the recipient. It will also open the attachment without giving you a chance to say no to the download. It will forward your files randomly to other recipients. Pretty insidious stuff - all those Chinese schoolboys must be bored this spring vacation!?
