outlook virus targetting apache developers

[Leo Simons <le...@apache.org>]

all,

one of the latest outlook worms has found its way to a user with lots of
ties to Jakarta. I believe the apache mail servers are filtering out the
malicious messages correctly, but if you use an address other than
username@apache.org you may be affected if you use windoze.

I'm mentioning this because the virus includes fake from: headers, so
you might be led to suspect the apache machines or developers have been
compromised, where this is not the case.

I've contacted the offending ISP via e-mail.

Please don't hit each other on the head because of someone else's faults
and update your virus scanners (or switch to a decent OS) if you haven't
already.

regards,

- Leo Simons
