Hi All,

My boss has just had a phone call from one of our software vendors who has
in turn been talking with a rep from Cardinal Software.  He said that the FBI
have just finnished a meeting with many of the major software vendors
regarding a flood of new Terrorist related viruses about to be released in
the next couple of hours.  Some are supposed to be new, others are variants
of Nimda (which will presumably have a more profound effect this time).

Has anyone else heard these reports?  If it is true, we could have an even
larger epidemic on our hands.  I know everyone this list has their patches upto date though right?  =)  As well all 
know though, new explouits are released everyday so be vigilant people & keep an eye out.  I would expect Cardinal to 
lie about this kind of thing to their customers...

Scratch ya later
Stu
