I have just received a message with an attached virus, which appears to have originated from a hotmail address.
Interestingly, the subject title has been taken from an earlier, legitimate email message that only a very limited number of my colleagues would know about. That earlier message was only sent within my own institution.

Subject: Virus reported in rad message
There appears to be a viris in a message I keep receiving from the list from
x. yang <xyyang@mail.utexas.edu>. The title is: The small exposures the
workers. NAV reports a virus each time this message comes in. I can't
confirm that it goes through the list but there is no other reason for this
to come to me. The message has an attached exe - recommend deletion.
