Virus author is test-driving Windows vulnerabilities: "Putting a 'dead-date' on his viruses, releasing Sobig variants on different days of the week and using slightly different subject lines and file names suggests that the Sobig author is test-driving his creations to see what tricks work best from the technical and psychological point of view." As a Mac user, I have been relatively little affected by the recent worm activities. Of course, the spam volume has increased, but procmail and the Mail program in Mac OS X currently filter almost all of the Sobig.F messages. But there still remains the danger that one day a Mac-specific worm starts to spread, so I don't feel altogether safe.

Frustration: "They say that the fixer instinct is a male thing. [...] Women are just as much fixers as men; it's just that women generally manage to fix stuff before anybody has to open mouth to say it's a problem." [Caveat Lector]
