Canada: SaskTel Hit By Malware

Via The Regina Leader-Post.

A malicious code known as malware infected one SaskTel computer, leading the company to issue a release to all of its customers Wednesday, informing them of the issue and asking them to ensure their e-mail security filters are up to date.

Darcee MacFarlane, SaskTel's director of corporate affairs, said the incident occurred about a week ago after an employee inadvertently downloaded a file containing the malware onto a computer that contained distribution lists for the company.
