More SirCam -- 10:19 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Tons of people all over the Net are reporting being hit by literally hundreds of copies of the SirCam worm. 3D Realms' Joe Siegler updated his .plan with word that he got 200 over the weekend. With the attachments, that amounts to an awful lot of wasted mail server traffic. I guess it just proves that people are still stupid and will open any and every attachment without thinking twice about it. Arrrggh.

The Master comments: The mail server at my office got hit with this one, but I don't know how severly. Sounds like a really fun virus tho. Once infected, running ANY executable will send the virus to EVERYONE on your contact list. Wheee.
