Hi Bryan. The Nuance voices are Samantha, Tom, Ava, those voices. The string 
only effects Alex and other voices but if you use Samantha, you’ll be fine.

Thanks Sean. How do I know which the nuance voices are, I thought they just had 
the names for the voices. I assume if you are running Alex and the subject of 
the malicious email is read it then knocks out VO? Was this virus written to 
target blind VO users? So bizarre and really evil. Thanks,

Bryan, you can download the Nuance voices to your Mac by going into the VO 
Utility and select ustomize. On the iPhone, as long as you’re not using Alex, 
you should be fine.

Hey guys,

 

Wow what kind of an whole creates a bug to knock out VoiceOVer that is a whole 
new kind of jerk. I only have the stock voices my mac came with. I read it 
might be easier to get around on the iPhone? Any words of wisdom on how to get 
through this the easiest way with only having stock voices on both IOS and my 
mac? Thanks,

Workaround: Use a non-Apple TTS (e.g. Nuamce). 
Unfortunately, VoiceOver will crash (Alex, Fred, etc.) even if message isn't 
open, as offending text is in subject and preview.

Hey all,

Was not around for a few days so just started going through my list mail and 
read about these awful malicious emails taking out VO. I am assuming they are 
further down in the mailbox where all my list mail is. If you do not open the 
email does it affect you? I typically let VO read little of an email before 
opening. If this will knock out VO is there a way to get around these emails as 
I would love to avoid this issue. Thanks so much.
