I'm getting swamped by virus infected emails here that seem to be coming from lots of secure networks. For example
I have been seeing tons of these since Monday night. Also with forged domains like cia.gov and fbi.gov. It is not really coming from those folks, the "From:" headers are all forged to better lure people in to reading them. Can't count all my Thanksgivings that hackers have ruined. Too many smart kids stuck in college dorms with high speed nets and nothing to do but hack for the holiday. And the pros know that most admins are slacking this week so they have more time to play with their new found toys before someone catches them. Much more time than usual between the time a 0-day, worm, virus or simple spam is launched and specific countermeasures are taken.
