The newest virus circulating is the "UPS Delivery Failure".
You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet
number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will
say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such
and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy
attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning
on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused
Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.

“The following warning was posted by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.  Please be alert for this type of security threat and follow good security practice by not opening unsolicited e-mail or e-mail attachments. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

 Beginning on August 5, 2008 reports of mass emails claiming to be from the CNN.com news Web site began to surface. Currently the subject of the email is "CNN.com Daily Top 10".  These emails are not from CNN, and contain web links to malicious sites that will attempt to install malware purporting to be an Adobe Flash Player upgrade.  The MS-ISAC has received reports from multiple states including Michigan, New York, North Carolina and Wisconsin, indicating their users have received these emails.

These emails have been circumventing spam filters and utilizing html based messages including the CNN web site logo and very enticing headlines to lure unsuspecting recipients into clicking on the links for news stories which are actually downloads of malware from various web sites. Reports indicate that hundreds of web servers may be compromised and hosting this malicious content. The use of news and current events are a proven and effective social engineering tool.

  We recommend that organizations use this as an opportunity to remind users to use caution when handling suspicious or unexpected email messages and URLs.”
