I just got an ISP wide alert from my Internet Provider Planet Internet who are obviously concerned about a new outbreak of the MyDoom worm, MyDoom.M

A new variant of MyDoom, MyDoom.M is currently spreading fast through users systems using the typical mailworm behavior by searching (Google, Lycos, Yahoo en Altavista) for e-mail adresses of possible victims. The mails are then sent using a fake email address with an attachment. The most popular used subjects are: ´error´, ´Message could not be delivered´ and ´Mail System Error - Returned Mail´. As always you shouldn't open attachments unless you know who sent it and you can verify the file type.

We recommend members to download the removal tool from Symantec (if only to check if the infection is already present).

Additionally, McNealy said, "We believe that SNE is preparing now for the production of its next-generation of products, from the Sony PlayStation Portable to the next-generation PlayStation console and other consumer electronics devices that will be based on its cell processor."

Suggesting such a ramp-up was one of the reasons the game division earnings had slumped, Katsumi Ihara, group chief financial officer for Sony, reportedly said at a Tokyo news conference. "For the PSP and the next-generation entertainment system we continue to have a high level of investment which is bringing down profit."

Sony's net sales for the quarter were flat at 1.6 trillion yen ($14.8 billion), up just 0.5 percent from the previous year, and operating income was 9.8 billion yen ($87.7 million), down from 16.7 billion yen ($149 million) a year earlier.
