[OT] Machine invected by sobig.f?

Hi,

I think someone who is currently on the Mason mailing list or who used 
to be on the list has a machine that is infected by the sobig.f virus. 
I'm getting emails every 10-15 minutes that are all routed through this 
machine

(ANYONE ON DSL FROM PACBELL OR SBC TAKE NOTE):

adsl-64-165-59-130.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net (HELO TNGO) (64.165.59.130)

Maybe in California, especially the Bay Area?

The connection to the Mason list is that I have gotten infected emails 
with return addresses of swartz@xxxxxxxxxxxx ;-) and 
jfrisby@xxxxxxxxxxxx, two addresses I've only seen in connection with Mason.

I stopped getting the emails late last night and then they picked up at 
noon (Eastern US) today, suggesting a machine that was turned off 
overnight on the US West Coast.

If this circumstantial evidence sounds like you, please check your machine.

The rest of you can go back to telling Norton AV to quarantine the 
infected mail... :-)

Take care,

Kurt Hansen
khansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
