To All,
I have Sophos on multiple Mac computers. On 12/17/12 I was notified of a virus threat by Troj/Agent-ZJG. I have my preferences on Sophos set to automatically delete any threat. I Googled this virus but found only 2 hits. One was from Sophos saying the virus was first identified on 12/17/12--that was the day my iMac picked up the virus.
I had a hard time finding the actual virus within Sophos. It appeared in my Growl notification but I had to go to Sophos Log. The virus was picked up by my spam app (SpamSieve) and was entitled Incoming_Fax.zip. The email info said it came from incoming.Fax@my email address.
It listed a remote ID which looked like a telephone number: 963-337-3379. 963 is an international area code for Syria. The description said: 2013 Recruitment Plan.
I did not open the attached file.
I wanted to share this info with all of you but also ask Sophos tech how we can find out more info about this and what can be done if anything to prevent an email like this from getting on to anyone's computer.
