I have just received the latest version of the fake M$ mails: Last Network Security Update Date: Sun Oct 19 17:55:27 2003 From: "Microsoft Internet Security Center" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Microsoft Consumer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Microsoft Consumer this is the latest version of security update, the "October 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three newly discovered vulnerabilities. Install now to help protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an attacker to run code on your system. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches. While I was away several people told me that they were just doing something quite normal, 'and then I got the virus. And I had done what Microsoft said in their message'. I know it's ridiculous expecting virus writers to play fair, but this particular scam is the one most likely to trap otherwise wary people. Aarrgghhh! I'm not usually a violent person, but I'd like to hang, draw and quarter the person that thought this one up.
