[TheForge] Klez Virus

[Terry L. Ridder]

hello;

if anyone receives an e-mail with any virus attached
if they would forward the entire e-mail message with
full intact e-mail headers to me, i will tell them where
the virus e-mail really came from.

last week i received so many e-mail messages with the klez
virus attached all originating from inside alltel.net's network
i ended up blocking all of alltel.net at my router. i contacted
alltel.net's upstream service provider, att.net, and they handled
the problem.

currently, i have all ip address blocks for korea 'blackholed'
at my router. i am considering blocking all of mainland china.
