Melissa Macro Virus

[aleph1 () UNDERGROUND ORG (Aleph One)]

I normally don't allow virus posts through the list as they seldom represent
a new threat, just a new example of an already existing one, but this one
is getting enough play to warrant a message.

There is a new Word macro virus circulating called Melissa. The virus
propagates via email. Attached to the email is a Word file that when
opened will launch a macro that will send the same message to the first
50 recipients of your Outlook address book. The subject line is
"important Message From <some user name>". The body consist of the text
"Here is that document you asked for... don't show anyone else;-)".
The infected documents contains passwords to porn web sites.

As this thing is emailing itself to everyone under the sun virus vendors
should have no problem obtaining copies to analyze. If anyone wants a copy
send me a message.
