Ahhh, there's nothing better than waking up in the morning to more virus warnings. This time around though, turkeys got to the news first, but I managed to dig up a little more dirt *grin*:

Internet security experts are warning web users about a new, politically-motivated computer virus. Symantec say they have spotted yet another attempt to reprise the recent Kournikova outbreak, this time with a rogue e-mail from Palestine. When opened, the attachment displays a message box attacking Israeli security forces and calling an end to bloodshed in the Middle East. The virus, dubbed VBS.Staple.Worm aka VBS_Injustice.A, apes recent outbreaks by replicating itself using Microsoft Outlook. Just be on the lookout for e-mails with 'Re. Injustice' in the subject line.
