W32/Palyh-a and gullible people — just the combination
we need to make my Monday funfilled and busy. I got in this morning
in time to find that the wheels had fallen off the world while a new
Windows worm has hit the University. Staff everywhere just blindly
executed the attachments — a dissappointing state of affairs given
the publicity surrounding the number of viruses that propogate via
email. Around noon our anti-virus vendor supplied us with an update
and we set about mopping up.
Meanwhile — out in the real world — the bike path was covered in broken glass again — resulting in one punctured rear tyre, someone has dumped another trailer load of househould garbage beside the path near the Malvern tennis courts, and this evening there seemed to be four or more old mattresses besides the path! “Bike path” is apparently now a euphemism for garbage dump.
