"Officials at SiliconValley.com confirmed that the technology and
business news site inadvertently sent a dangerous virus Monday morning to
readers of one of its e-mail newsletters."

"... a message containing an attachment infected with a variant of
the data-destroying Magistr e-mail worm was sent to subscribers to
"Good Morning Silicon Valley," an e-mail version of a popular
daily news roundup section at the site."

Oops!  I guess they got more than they paid for :-).  You all
be careful now, ya hear!

Cheers,
Gary
