Virus alert Yahoo Groups address book exploit

[:FI:Sneaky_Russian]

just received this in my e mail from a friend......

TO ALL MEMEBERS
OUR GROUP HAS NOW BEEN ATTACKED!!!WE HAVE HAD ONE MESSAGE NOW GET IN
IF YOU RECIEVE A MESSAGE TITLED "NEW GRAPHIC SITE" DO NOT OPEN
IT...IT IS ATTACKING ALL THE YAHOO GROUPS AND GETTING YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK...PLEASE JUST DELETE ANY THAT YOU GET...THANK YOU

and if your not in a group dont open that email that has Subject: New Graphic Site





Our IT guys in the Marines are telling us to create a false address using the following format "dgfte@gdht.com"

You have to use the quotation marks. That way it will register as the first address. What you put inside the quotation marks is immaterial as long as it has a @something.com.

Once the virus hits your address book it goes to the first name and unless it get a "readback" it dies there because it can't move on to the second name....In theroy.

Hope this helps
