Re: [PHP-DB] Virus alert

2001-02-13 Thread John Starkey

This was just forwarded to me by another admin friend regarding the virus.


http://www.internetnews.com/wd-news/article/0,,10_586321,00.html


A new worm, dubbed "Onthefly" by Helsinki-based security provider
F-Secure  Corp., began making its rounds on the Net Monday and appeared to
be vying with last year's LoveLetter virus for the title of most infectious
bug. The worm's Visual Basic Script attack -- which utilizes much-maligned
features of Microsoft Corp.'s Outlook e-mail client -- is triggered by an
attachment which lures users with a ".jpg" file of tennis star Anna
Kournikova.
