Abstract :
On 25 June 2003, a new mass-mailing worm, Sobig.E, emerged. The worm was highly successful at infecting computer systems. It is the fifth revision of a worm that first raised its ugly head in January 2003. There is strong evidence that spammers use infected computers to relay unsolicited commercial e-mail.
