Bogus Security Update e-mail

[Corey]

I keep getting this e-mail that claims to be Microsoft Security Update.
It's pretty obvious it's not do to the reply address and the path it took to
get to me. But it is a very professional looking e-mail with several
working links to within Microsoft.

My question is, can I forward this e-mail to someone who may be able to
track down and stop the culprit?

Thanks,
Corey

No need, Corey. Microsoft is well aware of this particular exploit and many
others.

You may have heard on the national tv news or in newspapers within the last
few days that Microsoft has "put up" a $5 million reward fund with probably
goodly sums paid to persons who are instrumental in the apprehension and
conviction of the virus originators.
