Not using the word "love" in subject, because then all the patched mailers will shit on me because i am trying to spread the lovebug virus...hehehe Just a quick, short note: I was thinking about "the virus originated in South East Asia" statement. Hmmm.. if you look at the spread of the virus, you will find that it coincide with sunlight. Really. It uses people to spread - to read the email and execute the attachment, right? And most people need to be awake to read their email (there's the exception...:)) So if you look at the spread of the virus, you will see it hitting South EAST Asia, EASTERN Euope, Africa and Europe, and then the States - thus is travels with the sun. If the reports are coming in from Australia tomorrow, then we know the *main* spread has travel around the globe...and it suggests that it all started in the East..It will spin around the world with the sun..secondary infection in +- 24h? Just an interesting observation. Maybe someone like the CERTs could provide very usefull information on reports etc? Anyone on here that has done analyses of this kind before?
