From Vnunet.com:
A new worm with a Christmas message has been detected as it began spreading around the world this afternoon.
At work we use Microsoft Exchange 5.5. We have set up the system to notify our administrator mailbox whenever there are delivery errors. We always know when there is a new virus out there, as we end up with literally thousands of errors in our administrator mailbox as people try to send mail to non-existent addresses at one of our domains. This morning we had about 3200 messages that bounced that had the subject of “Merry Christmas”. Another 200 have come in since I last cleaned out the mailbox.
I can’t believe people don’t update their virus definitions more often!
