Sober-Infected Messages Now One in Every 13 e-Mails

Frank Washkuch Jr. writes in SC Magazine Online:

The latest variant of the Sober worm, called the most widespread virus outbreak ever, has infected one in every 13 email messages, a leading security company has said.

Over a seven-day period last month, 218 million Sober-infected messages were quarantined by Postini - more than twice as many as the previous largest attack on record.

The company said it also intercepted 29 million copies of the virus in a 24-hour span.
