Incident Update

W32/Klez is still dominating the current incidents and it is unlikely to die out soon for two reasons: First, it generates email with a wide variety of different subjects, so recognition is difficult. Second, it forges the From: header, so that recipients who recognise it and take the trouble to warn the apparent sender are telling the wrong person. Thus, the victim with an infected machine keeps sending out infected messages and is never told. Actually, it is inaccurate to say recognition is difficult - W32/Klez can be easily detected by up-to-date anti-virus software, so, it is now a minor threat for all sensible computer users, but a continuing annoyance as we receive infected emails from the dumb computer users.
