Sir-Cam Virus! – Out of control

by lordinfidel . Updated 24 years, 11 months ago

As I am sure most of you are aware about the Sir-Cam virus that is propagating at a rapid rate.

Although no users on my network have been infected due to a iron clad virus protection policy. Most home users are not protected or informed.

Since it is a rational theory to think that most home users go to work at some point, and most business offices have access to e-mail.

I am asking all Mail Admins/Net and Sys admins to alert your users about this virus. It’s not the most destructive virus out there. But it is annoying and uses a great social engineering method to get around. Who does’nt like to be asked for advice.

But it’s flooding mail servers and the net with useless traffic.

Maybe I am just bitching because I have been getting 2-300 of these e-mails a day since last friday. And all virus alerts are sent to my hip.

I have begun efforts here on my end to respond to every poor soul who has sent us the virus, notifying them that they are infected and should takethe appropiate measures.

If anyone needs a template feel free to contact me and I will send you one.
