Hi All, Regarding sobig.f and the latest wave of viruses, Matteo wrote: "I am full of this emails in my ebay email, at 20 for day."
Consider yourself fortunate. At the peak, I was getting 30 per hour. It is clear from the pattern of spoofed sender e-mail addresses that at least one of our list members was infected, and still is. Unfortunately, this virus takes advantage of the "six degrees of separation" theory -- that we are all connected to every other human being on the planet by only 6 connections. (It's probably more than this when confined to the internet -- perhaps 7 or 8 -- but you get the idea.) Just consider how many addresses you have in your e-mail address book and raise that to the 6th, 7th or 8th power. Even allowing for redundancy and the (now) small fraction of vulnerable computers, it doesn't take long before every e-mail address is covered. Given the loss in worldwide productivity, the culprit or culprits if ever caught should be sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
