Probably not, even though it might have looked like it.

New puter virus going around, variant of sober.x

One of our account service people opened something with it in it yesterday and managed to get us onto spamhaus's list of blocked servers

The FBI has put out an official warning about a new variant of the Sober worm spreading through e-mails that purport to come from the US investigation agency.

The FBI advised computer users that the agency never sends unsolicited e-mails and that they should not open the attachments, which contains Sober.x - a variant that has now be given a "high risk" rating by security experts Secunia.

The scam e-mail tells recipients that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI and that they have accessed illegal Web sites, according to the FBI. The e-mails appear to come from e-mail addresses including mail@fbi.gov, post@fbi.gov and admin@fbi.gov, then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions.

Who would actually believe that the FBI is sending them e-mails?

I'm getting a TON of spam email/viruses today and yesterday with subjects like: Your IP has been logged
coming from supposed FBI email addresses.

Huge pain in the ass.
Couple that with the ICQ problems all day and my cunty level is almost at it's maximum.

I get all of my FBI communications from the microchip they planted in my head.

It was on Fox News ticker.

The FBI made it quite clear it has nothing to do with them. As Sarretah says apparently "the FBI do not contact people via unsolicited email."

They'll just come kick your door in at 4 am
