Tonight seams to be the night for it, my ISP has notified me that three e-mails sent to me contained a virus. The ISP deleted them as soon as they hit the server.

Don't know what type they were just that they were attachments.

not a virus, but I just got a fraudulent e-mail from someone pretending to be Citibank, wanting to restore account info after a terrorist lock-down of accounts.

looks pretty good, but they failed in spoofing the sending e-mail address.

There's also one for AT&T WorldNet customers floating around claiming to be from the WorldNet billing department and asking for credit card numbers & expiration dates.

Here's another unrelated AT&T WorldNet issue: All voice support is moving to India. This means I'll be doing a different job soon.

Here's another interesting tidbit. All voice Microsoft tech is done from India.
