Microsoft Gets Serious About Security? | |

Don't think you're special if Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates sends you an e-mail. In fact, unless you're somehow connected to the world's richest person, don't open the e-mail at all, especially if the from address says "bill@microsoft.com." Once again, Microsoft is at the center of an Internet security problem, with yet another anonymous hacker exploiting vulnerabilities in Microsoft's operating system. This time, an e-mail worm is using Gates's name and a fictional e-mail address to trick users. If opened, the variant of the "Sobig" e-mail virus can mine e-mail addresses from computers and resend itself to other victims. Sobig has been spreading recently with subject lines like "Re: Screensaver" and "Re: Your Application." The Gates-themed virus is officially called Sobig.C. | ||
