Hot Topics "Here You Have" Virus Email Attacks

9 September 2010

A global virus email with the subject line "here you have" spammed inboxes Thursday afternoon. Many employees around the world witnessed their inboxes fill with these spam emails. In some cases, the flood of spam forced offices to forgo email altogether. A few organizations affected by the worm are NASA, Comcast, AIG, Disney, Proctor & Gamble, Florida Department of Transportation and Wells Farg.

McAfee has not revealed exactly how widespread the spam attack was, only that it was a Trojan worm and that they are investigating its origin.

Each email came with a message like "Hello: This is The Document I told you about, you can find it here" and includes a link which looks like a PDF document. If a person clicks the link and downloads the virus onto their computer, it spreads to contacts in that person's email.

If you receive such an email, McAfee suggests deleting it and contacting your IT office.

As always, be careful what you click on!
