Dear Group Members,
A new virus called SOBIG.F has been spreading by email over the last few
days. Some group members reported receiving the virus at the email
addresses used only for ASRG activity, so it seems that some of the list
members have been infected. PLEASE SCAN YOUR COMPUTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,
WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF AN ANTI-VIRUS.
The following information has been taken from the Internet Storm Center's
website (http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?date=2003-08-20):

Sobig F
Despite the best efforts of system admins world wide, users are still
clicking on e-mail attachments. We strongly recommend attachment stripping
on mail gateways. Please note, that the 'From' address is spoofed. Do not
send auto replies to senders, as this will just worsen the email flood
caused by Sobig F. As other Sobig variants, this one includes the ability
to update the worm remotely, backdoors and a full set of other evilness.
