Some exploit. Norton flagged two emails in my inbox this morning. One from "MS Corporation Internet Security Division" Subject "Critical Security Upgrade" (complete with virus-bearing attachment), the second a "bounce-back" from Microsoft Email Server. The bounce-back is a spoof which doesn't actually come from the Beast of Redmond, but piques the recipient's curiosity just enough to open another virus-bearing attachment. (same or different?)

Didn't open the attachments, don't yetr know what the virus(es) is/are, but quite a clever one-two punch for those who do open them.
