Everybody where I worked got these -- thousands of 'em
Hi all,
I got about 12 or 15 of these at work yesterday, as did many of my colleagues -- hundreds of people for a total of thousands of e-mails! Luckily, by the time I got in the systems chief had e-mailed everyone that it was some rogue worm or whatever (they didn't know what yet) that was e-mailing stuff with attachments and spreading itself through the infected mailboxes. I was getting random messages from colleagues in other departments who didn't routinely send me messages. I even got an automatic out-of-office reply from one guy! It was humorous.
The firewall stripped all the attachments before they got to anyone.
They don't seem to know what it was yet. Further investigation I assume.
Systems later sent around a patch to apply to Exchange that would send all these to a junk folder or to be deleted automatically.
Cheers
Wendy
P.S. I haven't had any at home, thank God. My anti-virus software is up to date.
