Hi y'all. First post here. About 24 hours ago I started getting hit with SPAM, and now have over 30 emails which all seem to be the soberX worm, the one that usually appears to be from either the CIA or FBI.
Thankfully, my ISP caught it as such and cleaned the attachments before hitting my Inbox, so I just get the message text. However, they won't stop coming!
I haven't opened any attachments (obviously, as the ISP cleaned them) so the worm hasn't been executed and installed on my system. But why am I continuing to get hit with so many emails? Is it likely that someone who has me in their address book has installed it and either isn't aware or is unable to clean their system?
Is this ever going to stop? I just got this new email less than a week ago, so this isn't the start I had imagined. Any suggestions?
