Virus writers have resurrected the Sober worm with a new variant that is spreading quickly over the Internet.Security experts said Tuesday that the worm, dubbed Sober.M, reports e-mail addresses of victims back to its anonymous author--a technique known as harvesting. Spammers typically buy these fresh addresses to add to their lists of e-mail recipients.
The e-mail containing the worm is written in bad English with the subject line: "I've got your e-mail on my account."
Sober.M is a mass e-mailing virus that spreads as a .zip file attachment and affects systems running Microsoft Windows.
