PRO-ISRAEL WEBSITES SPAMMED BY HACKERS

email spoofing Arutz 7 and other Israeli websites ^ | July 8, 2003 | Alouette

If you are on a mailing list for any Israeli news service, you are at risk for receiving the W32.sobig.E@mm mass-mailing virus.

I must have received this virus at least a dozen times this week, all from sources purporting to be "israelnationalnews.com" "jpost.com" "koshertoday.com"

The subject header is something like "Re: Your Applications" and the email contains an attachment called "your_details.zip" or "application.zip" THIS IS THE VIRUS.

Fortunately Symantec detected and deleted the virus (which I verified from reading the logfiles). If you feel that you have opened this virus and infected your system Symantec has a tool for its removal.

Normally I don't post virus warnings since most of them are hoaxes but this one is very sneaky and very dangerous.

The viruses do not originate from any of these sites, the addresses are being spoofed.

Stay safe. Make sure your virus software is up to date.

This affects ALL mailing lists.

If one guy on the list has the virus, it's going to get sent out to the other members. Not through the listserv, but directly from his PC.

We got it in my record collecting discussion list.

BTTT for tomorrow. Good grief, what idiots.
