Just as a computer warning to all my readers, someone is sending out mass
emails across the net today in order to spread a nasty little virus/worm called
Sober.Y. The email are addressed as coming from numerous sources including:

• Yahoo
• AOL
• CIA
• FBI

They all contain different messages but all have the same attachment. If you
receive one of these emails do not open the attachment, which should be common
practice for any email user. The FBI has already issued a warning about this:

FBI Warns of E-Mail About Surveillance

Monday November 21, 2005 9:46 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued an alert
Monday about a scam involving unsolicited e-mails, purportedly sent by the
FBI, that tell computer users that their Internet surfing is being monitored
by the agency.

The users are told they have visited illegal Web sites and are instructed
to open an attachment to answer questions.

The FBI did not send these e-mails and does not send any other
unsolicited e-mails to the public, an agency statement said. As many harmful
computer viruses are located in e-mail attachments, the FBI said it strongly
encourages computer users not to open attachments from unknown recipients.

The FBI is investigating the scam. Recipients of these e-mails are asked
to report them by visiting the Internet Crime Complaint Center at
http://www.ic3.gov.

I have received at least 10 of these so far today, all originating from the
same place in New York. They have all come on my personal email account and not
the one I use for this site. If you get any of these then visit the link listed
in the article to inform the FBI so they can better track this person down.
