Current Issues

W32.Beagle.K@mm [E-mail Worm]
This e-mail worm forges it's e-mail "from" header to make it appear to come from a "support" e-mail address.  For example, joysta.com customers may have received an e-mail appearing to come from "support@joysta.com" and tells the customer to run the attachment to reactivate their disabled e-mail account.  Joysta.com never sends our customers attachments.  More information is available from Symantec.
