Message-ID: <20030625203234.6C045C305@relayer.avian.org> From: hobbit at avian.org (*Hobbit*) Subject: A worm... Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop, but this one is interesting BECAUSE of the .zip encapsulation. The fact that it spreads at all is due to one or both of .ZIP archives now auto-explode and auto-EXECUTE contents inside some MUAs people are being REALLY stupid The first one, if true, is disturbing because it used to be that wrapping content inside a .zip attachment is one way to get known bad content to colleagues and NOT have it donked by [most] content filters. It should take manual, explicit action by the recipient to open the .zip and be careful with the contents. Is this no longer the case?! What idiot mail-readers have auto- execute-zip-contents capability, if any?? I knew this was comin' someday, even so... _H*
