Thread: Strange Email Attachment Virus

    Question Strange Email Attachment Virus

    I got an odd e-mail this morning. It's obviously a mail attachment virus/worm of some sort, but the e-mail doesn't seem to fit the typical MyDoom mailings. It's a "returned e-mail" that says I had unsuccesfully sent out a message entitled "Server Report". From what I've read thus far I have heard of MyDoom pretending to be an undeliverable e-mail message, but not quite as specific as this one (as a "Server Report"?). The antivirus software did it's job of eliminating it well, so the actual attachment is gone (darn the luck, was hoping to play with it). But here's the text from the e-mail body:

    Actually it does those too.

    Do not assume that the sender address is an indication that the sender is infected. Additionally you may receive alert messages from a mail server that you are infected, which may not be the case.

    * Error
    * Status
    * Server Report
    * Mail Transaction Failed

    * hello
    * hi

    Body: (Varies, such as)

    * The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.
    * The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.

    That's right, I overlooked "Server Report' being listed in there. Mystery solved!
