New Virus warning -- bogus e-mails

[System]

This is an official warning that a new Virus is being sent out using FORGED random names (including Amiga.org).  DO NOT open the attachments!!!  We did not, nor would we ever send these e-mails under any circumstances.

Here's an example of the text from a forged message that I just received.

----------------
Dear user of  "Amiga.org"  mailing system,

Your  e-mail account has been  temporary disabled because of  unauthorized access.

Advanced details  can be found in attached file.

For security purposes the  attached file  is  password protected.  Password is "17338".

Kind regards,
    The Amiga.org team                              http://www.amiga.org

Would it be worthwhile those of us who've received infected mails PM'ing you the senders details

Thanks, but no. It's not helpful.  

@everyone else.

Thanks for the confidence, but I'm not an idiot. :-)

I know the Amiga isn't affected, but considering that a vast majority of you are using Windows and Outlook, I think that notifying everyone is by far the lesser of two evils.  While I'm not including the brilliant users of Amiga.org in this statement, would the average Windows user really hesitate if they received what appears to be a legitimate e-mail from Amiga.org saying that there is a problem with their account?

@weirdami

Correct.
