E-Secure-IT has just received this field report:
While it does all the normal mass mailing stuff, own smtp engine,
harvests address lists etc this one did something really weird that
I've never seen before- it sent a postscript print job to every printer
it could find.
The scary thing was it even picked up printers attached to parallel
ports and which were not shared and sent the print job to them too.
I know it tries to access network shares, but looks like it tries to
access print q's …
[View More]also, be interested to see if anyone else has
seen this?
FYI can confirm that NAV sigs of 30/9 do detect and clean.

Hi, NZNOG folks.
[ Apologies to those of you who have seen this post in other fora. ]
A range of ASNs have been allocated to ARIN as of September 2002. The
range is 26624 - 27647. You may wish to adjust your filters. The
definitive list can be found here:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers
I have updated my bogus ASN monitoring to reflect these changes. You
can see the list of networks that leak bogus ASNs here:

Thanks,

I'm no expert.

Sure. I don't make a habit of travelling in cars which are not licenced
to drive on the road, though, and that affords me some safety without
needing first-hand, expert knowledge of the dangers involved.

I don't follow you.
There are safeguards set up to ensure people don't drive in unsafe cars,
regardless of how little they personally know about car safety.
There are no safeguards set up to encourage people not to use unsafe
mail clients. The regular virus bulletins could say "as with this other
large list of security problems, this one can be avoided simply by using
a different mail client", but they don't. ISPs could stop shipping OE,
or could find ways to encourage users to install different mail clients,
but they don't.

So why do you use it?
