I've received the Badtrans worm from three domains so far: @xs4all.nl,
@t-online.de, and @online.no, which are I suppose in Netherlands, Germany, and
Norway (?, just guessing). All were sent to the mailbox used in my profile here
at CCC. I don't use that mailbox for anything else, which makes me think they
have harvested our email addresses from CCC.
