Below is the text from Symantec. This Worm is getting around. Keep your eyes open for email attachments with a readme.exe attachment. ------------------ This is the preliminary information known at this time. Symantec has received a number of submissions and has assessed this as a level 4 threat rating. There is a new mass-mailing worm that utilizes email to propagate itself. The threat arrives as readme.exe in an email. In addition, the worm sends out probes to IIS servers attempting to spread by using the Unicode Web Traversal exploit similar to W32.BlueCode.Worm. Compromised servers may display a webpage prompting a visitor to download an Outlook file which contains the worm as an attachment. Also, the worm will create an open network share allowing access to the system. The worm will also attempt to spread via open network shares. _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
