The "Here you have" virus

[AACJ]

We were overwhelmed at work with the "Here you have" virus. Basically shut down our entire intra and internet, no email for 2 days now.

Did anyone else get it at work (or anywhere else) too?

I'm unaffected so far (knock on wood.)

Here's more information about the virus.

Showed up at my place of work Thursday afternoon. Text and link implied it came from our Mentoring program.

Nope, we are locked down tight. (I'm sure we'll be hit by some other random exploit tho)

I got the warning email today (I work for the State of TX), but no trouble yet.

Thanks for the heads up Art!

It caused a big slowdown at Johns Hopkins but they got it under control. I believe that users clicking things was a big part of it, as usual. It took a day or two for them to clear it. I'm sure there was some fine tech staff frantic time, especially as is was the first few days of the semester with the return of students going on.
