Subject: New W32.Gibe variant making the rounds?

I just a little while ago was informed by my mail system admin that a
message intended for me had been snagged by our mail filters as containing
the W32_GibeA virus. Many of you probably remember that this was the little
bugger that went around under the guise of a Microsoft Security update and
had an attachment called Q216309.exe, which was actually a backdoor and
massmailer with its own SMTP engine.

Well, this one seemed to be a bit different. It had a return address of
"pgp-key-request@...tmaster.org" and the subject line was "Introduction on
ADSL". I've requested a copy of the original message. If and when I receive
it, I'll forward any other relevant details along. I'm assuming that this is
an attempt to tart up the original W32.Gibe virus and cause a new round of
infections.

Apologies if this is something that is already seen; I was concerned that a
new social-engineering attempt using the old Gibe virus was being made.

Regards,

Corey Snow
