Klez: a closer look

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-at-PURE-EVIL dept.

So just how boring is it? Virus Bulletin has an indepth look at what makes Klez tick." And today alone, Klez virus e-mails were 90% of my e-mail by bytecount. YAY Outlook!

    Psst.. hemos runs a large, popular website. He is "famous".

    This means that unlike the rest of us, lots and lots of disparate people all over the world have emailed Hemos in the past.

    This means that Hemos is in the Outlook history of lots and lots of people.

    This means that Hemos is going to get hit by Klez way more often than most people.
