| Worm
Infecting Systems Through Bogus 'Patch'
A
new worm, the Swen (Win32.Swen.A) worm, is spreading
over the Internet. It infects systems through
a bogus Microsoft security bulletin that announces
a "September 2003 Cumulative Patch"
for Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express.
If you receive this e-mail message, do not open
the attachment. This worm also spreads via KaZaA
and Internet Relay Chat (IRC). E-mail messages
that purport to be a Microsoft security bulletin
should be deleted. As a further precaution, keep
your system's anti-virus software up to date. |

Draft
Impact Report
Issued for Building 49
Berkeley
Lab has issued a draft Environmental Impact Report on
its proposed research office building, Building 49.
Public comments are invited for 45 days, until Nov.
3. A public hearing will take place at the North Berkeley
Senior Center on Oct. 20 from 7 to 9 p.m. Documents
can be reviewed at the Berkeley Public Library, the
Berkeley Lab library in Building 50, or via the Internet,
here.
The lab hopes to construct the six-story, 65,000-square-foot
structure, relocating 240 existing employees, by fall
2005.

Section
Club Reception

and spouses of researchers and scholars at the
Lab and on campus — is holding its annual
fall reception tomorrow, from 11:30 a.m. to 2
p.m., at University House, located on the Berkeley
campus. The group derives its name from the various
"sections" or sub-groups within the
club. They provide service and support to the
Lab and campus community. For information, call
Barbara Gordley at 524-1252. |
