"A potentially massive Internet attack starts today

F-Secure Corporation is warning about a new level of attack to be unleashed
by the Sobig.F worm today. 
Helsinki, Finland - August 22, 2003
Windows e-mail worm Sobig.F, which is currently the most widespread worm in
the world, has created massive e-mail outages globally since it was found on
Tuesday the 18th of August - four days ago. The worm spreads itself via
infected e-mail attachments in e-mails with a spoofed sender address. Total
amount of infected e-mails seen in the Internet since this attack started is
close to 100 million. 
However, the Sobig.F worm has a surprise attack in its sleeve."
