Tim Mullen, 2003-07-21

The hole's been announced, the patch has been released. Now there's nothing to do but wait for the worm to come and wreak its ugly havoc.

There may not be harmful files in the e-mail it may simply point to a harmful url.

If you send enough emails directed at a particular business that you have issues with, eventually some unpatched machine will run the sript that loads the worm that could take down all the other computers behind the firewall.

If anyone thinks they can stop all harmful emails or all harmfull surfing, they are kidding themselves.
