Klez is still VERY much around. Unfortunately most infected victims don't know they are infected, and the heavy forgery of the headers makes it difficult to track the source down and tell them to disinfect their computer.

The HR department here gets a steady stream of KLEZ emails from the same handful of sources, and has been getting them for months. Unfortunately, the source IP addresses aren't readily matched to any email address, as the HR department processes a lot of different emails, and many come from web-mail providers like hotmail. I imagine lots of sales and purchasing is much the same.


And, of course, despite the prevalence of mail viruses, people are STILL stupid enough to run executable attachments to an email saying "hey check this out" if the From: is a friend of theirs... So this isn't a problem that's going to go away anytime soon...

which to respond to. :(  I wish there was. Simply ignore it for the most
part. I can't believe that Klez is still around.
