This from our Enterprise security office here at work: ---- A new worm known as W32/Myparty@MM has been detected in the wild. The mass-mailing worm arrives in an email message containing the following information: Subject: new photos from my party! Body: Hello! My party... It was absolutely amazing! I have attached my web page with new photos! If you can please make color print of my photos. Thanks! Attachment: **www.myparty.yahoo.com (The attachment will be without the **) Running this attachment will infect only the local machine, but will seek out the system's Windows Address Book and addresses found within .DBX files and send email messages to everyone with email messages. DO NOT OPEN THE MESSAGE. EVEN IF IT IS FROM A KNOWN SOURCE!!! If you receive a message with any of the above information immediately press "Shift + Delete" on the message to permanently delete the message. ----
