Sober worm stalls MSN, Hotmail
According to Microsoft, a Sober worm has disrupted e-mail traffic between Comcast account holders and users of Microsoft-based e-mail. A variant of Sober known as Win32/Sober.Z@mm is harassing servers at Hotmail and MSN with an "unusually high mail load," causing delays in e-mail delivery to Hotmail and MSN customers.
Microsoft is actively working to take the appropriate steps to remedy the situation as rapidly as possible.
Blog reports say that some Comcast subscribers, when sending e-mail to a Hotmail or MSN account, have received an error message saying their message was not received. However, Microsoft says that all e-mails, while some may be delayed, are eventually getting through.
