I received one privately, as well.  (I think it was to plug-admin, but
I've already deleted it.)  This one had an attachment named School.com.
It seems as though it might be a more sophisticated version of the
Sircam virus/worm for Microsoft products.  (No offense is meant by
calling it a "Microsoft worm", merely identification.  It goes both
ways; I'd refer to L10N as a "RedHat worm" or "Linux worm".)
