Our email systems are completely swamped today handling what looks like Bagle-J. The authoritative look to the email is generated dozens of calls and requests to our Helpdesk. This is a very, very prolific emailer. The message comes from "management () oakland edu" or "noreplay () oakland edu" or some other very official looking "from." The message, after going through mail filters, reads as below- it just looks too authoritative and it is causing a nightmare. A message filter removed the following attachment(s) from this message: TextDocument.pif Dear user of Oakland.edu, Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e- mail content)outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,follow the instructions. For details see the attach.
