Anyone get hit with this virus?

It spams your contact list with copies of itself.

My place of work did. About 10 or 20 people fell for it and clicked the link to the virus. Then another 40 replied all saying either "take me off your mailing list" or "stop replying all".

Not I, thankfuly. Sounds nasty.

people need to stop being idiots on the internet

 

[Paratus]

Well this was actually at work......


The emails it genereated probably hit 10's of thousand of addresses coupled with the folks replying all and the number of read reciepts and out of office notices I'm surprised the e-mail servers didn't go down.

"Are you sure you want to reply all?" prompts would serve people well too.

Such a simple solution. Sigh

No, we use an operating system at work that does not even work with legit software, let alone malicious software.

Well our mission critical systems don't interface with the internet so they were unaffected.

I never click on something I don't know.

I've never gotten a virus.

Got it at my work too .... it just keeps popping back up.

Anyone know if it affects groupwise, or what the name of it is so I can notify CA? I'm sure they will be the last to add it to their definitions, they always are.

Yep, got that at work yesterday... I ignored it since I didn't recognize the guy or what the request was.

Plus the link when you hover your mouse over it differs from what is in the email.
