A Closer Look at the Worm_Mimail.A
While Mimail started appearing in mid-2003, many of the same techniques you see used in that are common in many mass mailers. This analysis is a bit cursory, but reveals how these things work.
On August 1, 2003, I encountered several emails from my email admin account informing me that my email address will be expiring and that I should read an attachment for further details. Being suspicious, I analyzed that file and the affects of it. This is a short overview of what I have found so far.
