More Faked UC E-mail Messages

April 20, 2004

To: UCOP Personnel

From: Patrick Collins, Director, IR&C Information and Communication Services

UCOP personnel are receiving e-mail messages that probably contain viruses
but look as though they were sent from legitimate e-mail accounts from
UCOP, the campuses, and other locations. The subject line is generally
"Delivery failure notice." The message reads "Delivered message is
available," or some variation of that.

Please do not open the attachment but immediately delete the message. IR&C
is working to address the cause of this attack and will provide more
information later. If you opened an attachment to one of these e-mails,
please contact your departmental PC Coordinator immediately.

Please submit your questions, comments, and suggestions at feedback.html
