Beware the Sober.Y virus

Beware of emails purporting to come from official security agencies such as the FBI, CIA or German BKA. Like the previous ones this virus sends itself inside a ZIP archive as an attachment in email messages with English or German texts. All the details are here: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/sober_y.shtml.

Never open unexpected attachments. Always have an updated anti-virus installed.
