We have observed a new email worm in the wild of unknown virulence, just
wanted to get the word out ASAP.  We're calling it "DarkMachine" after the
nicknames of the discoverers here at SecureWorks.

The worm arrives as a .exe attachment with varying names.  The subject
line also varies, but the body of the message stays the same:

======

heh. I tell ya this is nuts ! You gotta check it out !

======

Subject lines observed so far include:

Scientists have found traces of the HIV virus in cow's milk...here is the proof -- Will

of the person sending the email.
