| 04/30/2004 | This morning we were hit with an outbreak of the W32/Bagle.aa@MM virus. This virus (which was just discovered today) spreads through email attachments. Like many viruses, it appears to be from someone you know. For more information, view http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_124875.htm. ITS is currently pushing out an update to protect against this virus. However, the best protection is always to exercise caution when reading email--never open any suspicous or unexpected attachments. Further action has also been taken to stop the spread of this virus at Truman as well as to locate and clean machines which are currently infected. |
