lol!!!1!! ur spam skillz0rs are like so not 1337, d00d
For some reason, the standard spam filter in my email program has been fooled on several occasions today. First, there were around 20 instances of a Viagra/Cialis advert, poorly disguised as an undelivered mail. Then came 25 instances of the W32/Sober-Z worm, purportedly from the Home Office. Blunkett’s last revenge, perhaps?

Now, this probably indicates that I’m the most horrendous pedant, but the first thing I noticed was the grammatical error… “The list of questions are attached”.
The attachment, in case you wondered, is just the old W32/Sober-Z worm again. Send as many as you like… can’t hurt my Mac one bit!
