New Email Worm Already Exploits the Iraq Conflict

A new worm, called W32/Ganda-A, which was first detected on
Monday, is a mass-mailing worm that spreads by sending email
to contacts from the Windows Address Book. It appears to have
started in Sweden, and sends out messages in either Swedish or
English, depending on the systems' language.

So far, quite a few variants have been found. Here are a few
of the English subject fields found: Screensaver advice, Spy
pics, GO USA !!!!, and G.W Bush animation.
