As you said, it's a Windows issue, and I didn't see any reports of infection on Linux. DCR> Any idea what he is running and what virus it is -- and DCR> importantly whether opensuse is vulnerable? I don't think openUSE is vulnerable. Emotet is raging all over the world and many places are taking measures against it, so why don't we just use anti-virus software to protect ourselves? Of course, I have asked the administrator of this ML to block emails from Serafino. I think it is quite difficult to get past the virus checks of the providers and this ML. I think our precaution is not to open attachments easily.
