New Sober worm spreading

A new version of the Sober worm wriggled out of its hole early on Monday and set about quickly attacking computers in Europe and the US. The worm is a mass-mailer, meaning it spreads itself via email using contacts listed in the address books of computers it infects. The first instance of the worm, called W32.Sober-K-mm, was intercepted by UK security company MessageLabs.
