Last night at 04.00+5.00 GMT a mail was distributed as a filmscanners_digest list mail. The mail contained W32Beagle/Bagle variant virus. The message title was 'Site changes'. I received a copy myself.
DO NOT OPEN THIS MAIL, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. I have had a couple of mails from concerned list members. Plus of course a hundred or so returned rejected mails from automated AV responders. I believe what was distributed was non-infectious and non-harmful, since NAV is in use on the list server with 22/03/04 defs. The message should have been cleaned before distribution by the listserver. However I can't be absolutely sure what got distributed as the copy I received had already been interdicted by NAV as incoming mail. Details and removal tools are at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have run a full AV scan and GFI mail security scan on the server, both come up clean. The mail will have originally come from a digest member who has somehow acquired W32Bagle :( Probably someone on the E.Coast of the USA, if the timezone can be believed, PLEASE ensure you are running effective antivirus progs with up-to-date AV defs. and never open attachments unless you are sure they are safe. NO EMAILS FROM THE FILMSCANNERS LIST SERVER WILL EVER CONTAIN ATTACHMENTS, so if you get such a mail, delete it unread.
