There's an e-mail virus in circulation with the usual attachment which will pull off your credit card details you've previously input during transactions then transmit them to the offending hacker I think.

And just how does it do that then? What a crappy thread, another scaremongering virus alert. Post a URL to the actual technical report, and CAPS LOCK OFF!

You can always ask me. I'm sat 2 feet away from the best virus researchers in Europe on a network that contains around 80,000 pieces of malicious code. I know a bit about them myself as well.

Whereas I'm sat 2 feet away from a bunch of developers who know nothing about viruses at all. We have far more than 80,000 pieces of malicious code here, though.

Jack, so which department of <insert AntiVirus Company here> do you work in ? The department that hunts down viruses, or the other department that creates new ones ?

Puff, don't believe we're taking anyone on but it may be worth sending your CV in. Direct to HR in Aylesbury or Slough is probably a better idea than sending it to me, I'm a Jinx.

Darren, I work in Product Marketing. We do lots of things but don't write Malware, too much like hard work.

Forgot to say, the wages aren't great.
