Just started getting it here...it came from a local Comcast cable user, and so overwhelmed the mail server, that SpamAssassin and qmail-scanner stopped scanning it. I had to nullroute that IP to stop it... it looks like this: Return-Path: <admin@duma.gov.ru> Delivered-To: james@pil.net Received: (qmail 77869 invoked from network); 22 Aug 2003 17:39:16 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO localhost) (68.32.237.213) by richard2.pil.net with SMTP; 22 Aug 2003 17:39:16 -0000 From: "Microsoft" <security@microsoft.com> To: <james@pil.net> Subject: Use this patch immediately !

A quick heads up, if anybody hasn't heard:
At 1900GMT today, ET phones home, and picks up the next payload of instructions. Nobody knows (yet) what they'll be, but SoBig-E erased itself, put in a password grabber, and then installed a mail proxy for spammer use.
This one *may* just play the theme song from Bozo the Clown and erase itself, but I severely doubt it's gonna be that nice.
