Hello all,
Yesterday (the 18th) I received an email with the bugbear worm attached to it. The BugBear worm can forward email from a user's account and make it look like it can come from any email id it finds on your .
So why am I telling you this?
Well, the email that I got was a copy of one of the automatic messages we get when we play in a tourney and have won some bux. The message I got had one of our TD's in the message. Sadly that means that one of our little Gin family may be infected with the worm.
There is more information at the following URL: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear.b@mm.html. If I do it right, there will be a link at the bottom of this posting.
I don't know where the email came from exactly, which is why I'm not naming any names. However I wanted to alert all of you so that you can check your s and be sure you can take steps to remove the worm if you have it.
By the way, I am not pushing Norton over any other anti-virus software (the web site is for that software). I'm just more familiar with Norton and Symantec's web site. There are many very good anti-virus software tools available. I recommend everyone get one and make sure it is kept always up to date. Thanks for reading.
