Scammer/Spammer probing our mailing lists

[netsec at omnigroup.com]

Most of the folks on this list probably know about this scam, and 
hopefully our mailing list software is blocking the attempts, but just 
in case some get through: if you get a message that looks like this, 
it's not actually from us.

It's a scam that's trying to get folks to run the attachment, which is 
meant to install just such a trojan horse on your machine when you run 
it. We had a spate of these things a couple months ago, and it looks 
like it's starting up again...

(Luckily, this spammer was lazy enough to send a PC trojan to a bunch 
of Mac-related lists.)

So, no, don't click the attachment, don't forward it on to anyone, etc. 
If you have any questions, mail me off-list and I'll be happy to help 
out.

Sincerely,

Brian C.
