So Big F Worm in the wild, in the geosynthetics community. Many of our friends and colleagues have reported receiving email with the "So Big F" virus attached. Key things to know about this virus are:
It is a mass mailing worm, infected computers will email the virus to everyone in the infected computer’s address book.
The "from" address is usually spoofed – The infected computer fills in the "from" field with another name from its own address book. So if you and I are both in John Smith’s address book and John Smith gets infected then his computer will send me an email with your address in the "from" field.
