Mon 5 Dec 2005 - Sober Virus from the CIA Circulating

A varient of the 'Sober' virus is circulating. It features an email message which tries to frighten you into opening an infected attachment by telling you: "we have logged your IP-address on more than 28 illegal Websites." Symantec AntiVirus on our Exchange server is replacing the infected attachments with harmless warnings, but you should NOT open unsolicited attachments. See Info on Sober worm.
