Viruses being sent from city's e-mail address
Somebody has been using city hall computer servers to spread a potentially dangerous virus. Authorities still don't know who planted the electronic "worm", but it has already caused some headaches for local Internet service providers who said they received it by way of city hall among others.
Above all, this underlines the need to stay up to date on your virus and spam protection. As this case proves, sometimes even that is not enough. According to Internet security company Symantec, 35 new viruses have been identified since the beginning of this month.
They arrive in e-mails most often as attachments for unsuspecting users to open. Local service provider interconnect said it was bombarded with hundreds of such e-mails in the past two days coming from phony addresses ending with common suffixes like SBC.comroadrunner.com, but most often cctexas.com - indicating it came through the servers of city hall.
