Latest e-mail worm spreading fast http://www.startribune.com/stories/789/4341069.html
"The worm - called ``Mydoom,'' ``Novarg'' or ``WORM-MIMAIL.R'' - was replicating itself so quickly that some corporate networks were clogged with infected traffic within hours of its appearance Monday. Its mail engine could send out 100 infected e-mail messages in 30 seconds, experts said."
"Unlike other mass-mailing worms, Mydoom does not attempt to trick victims by promising nude pictures of celebrities or mimicking personal notes. Instead, one of its messages reads: ``The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.'' "
