> The Computer Incident Advisory Capability (CIAC) Office reminds that old
> viruses are often renamed to appear to be related to current events. This
> is already being seen with respect to the current tragedy. Do not double
> click on attachments to messages even those that appear to be related to a
> current event or to helping others. Files with names like WTC.TXT.VBS or
> REDCROSS.DOC.VBS are not text documents but are files that could do
> anything to your computer. Unless you are expecting to receive an
> explicit program from someone you know, do not execute the attachments to
> e-mails.
> Spammers (people sending mass mailings of unwanted e-mails) and
> con-artists are out in full force after Tuesday's attacks. Especially
> beware of messages and web sites purporting to be collection sites for
> donations to the Red Cross or other relief organizations. Relief
> organizations are generally not allowed to solicit funds in this way.
