Sober Returns In German and English

English and German variants of the Sober virus are once again tracking across the Internet.

Sober, a mass mailing worm, has returned in a multilingual form, plaguing Internet users again. W32.Sober.N@mm sends e-mail messages with the subject headers "I've_got your EMail on my_account!" and "FwD: Ich bin's nochmal" and carries attachments with names like your_text.zip. Opening the attachment allows the worm to begin harvesting email addresses from the local machine and mass mailing copies of itself to them.

More information on the Sober worm may be found at Symantec's website.
