Microsoft Outlook and Security

After getting spammed by outlook users recently with the W32.Sobig.E, I remembered this quote I had bookmarked long time ago.

“If Microsoft made your letter box, all some one would have to do is write “Burn the house down” on a piece of paper and post it through the door, and your house would go up in flames.”

    I spotted another interesting thing yesterday – the worm was filling in the to and from fields with users for the same domain if they existed in the address book OR used genric addresses. So my gateway had multiple mails from everyone in the office to everyone in the office with the worm attached.
