A call to the Linux Foundation: So get to it and fix it. Nothing like a wake call to the complacent. Pretty soon they will be calling Linux, Windux. ;-)

If it gets through, spam is, in and of itself, terrorizing to the common
person. Many of them point out a person's inadequacies  ;-)

According to one blog, and who knows the reality at the moment, this attack
may be state sponsored, but that seems far-fetched as the malware's
intention seems to be to create yet another spam zombie.
