However the attachment to it was a virus

The e-mail address was mail@cia.gov and was sent to x_mail-list@virgin.net

It's WORM_SOBER.AG

If you subsrcribe to the trendmicro newsletter (the makers of pc cillin) you will receive emails on all the latest virus threats.. i got this one the other day..

Dear Trend Micro customer,

As of November 21, 2005 2:20 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST, GMT -8:00), TrendLabs has declared a Medium Risk Virus Alert to control the spread of WORM_SOBER.AG. TrendLabs has received several infection reports indicating that this malware is spreading in the USA, Belgium, Canada, Brazil, and New Zealand.

This memory-resident worm propagates by attaching a copy of itself to an email message, which it sends to target recipients using its own Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) engine. Since it's email propagation does not require any user intervention, the user is often unaware that this worm is sending out email messages.

The email it sends out has the following details:

From: {Email address generated by this worm}

Subject: (any of the following)

• hi,_ive_a_new_mail_address

• Mail delivery failed

• Registration Confirmation

• smtp mail failed

• Spam: Registration Confirmation

• Your Password

• Your IP was logged

• Paris_Hilton_&_Nicole_Richie

• You visit illegal websites

Message body: (any of the following)

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message.

The attached .ZIP file contains the copy of this worm using the following file name:

File-packed_dataInfo.exe

When executed, it displays a fake error message box in order to trick a user into thinking that the file did not properly execute.

This worm searches the process list of the affected system for mrt.exe, the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool process. If found, it terminates the said process thus making the system more vulnerable to malicious attacks.

TrendLabs will be releasing the following EPS deliverables:

TMCM Outbreak Prevention Policy (Beta) - 187 (Released)

Official Pattern Release - 2.957.00 (ETA: 1.5 hrs)

Damage Cleanup Template - 678 (Being created)

Network Virus Wall - 10232 (Being created)
