I'm up to four of the virus-laden e-mails already ... opening my e-mail tomorrow going to be fun.
Bagle -- the virus, that is -- is back. Like the last version, Bagle.AG is spread via e-mail, usually coming in on "spoofed" address, making the message look like it comes from a trusted source. Of course, if you don't recognize the sender, or if it is a known name, but the message doesn't look authentic, there's no need to open the attachment. As NewsFactor Network reminds us:
(Bagel's) propagation depends on the actions of users. If they do not open e-mail attachments from unknown senders, the threat of infection is minimal.Posted by tgibbons at July 19, 2004 06:08 PM
