Worm attack spoofs security firm's email address
In a true twist of irony, Helsinki-based security research and software vendor F-Secure reported Wednesday that an unknown attacker has sent out thousands of emails infected with a new variant of the Breplibot worm that appeared to come from an F-Secure employee.
The emails were crafted so that they appeared to be from a non-existent employee named David Adams, Dept. Research, F-Secure Development. The emails suggested that there was a problem with the email recipient's website and attached a screen shot to illustrate.
