Rejected Application

The computer virus Yamanner appeared on June 12th, and attacking Yahoo users email service seemed to be the work of a candidate trying to get noticed in order to obtain a job in a software company.
Here is their application letter…

Subject: I have written JS/Yamanner@MM Worm

Hello

I have written JS/Yamanner@MM Worm that has been discovered 12 June 2006. I found that in Yahoo! mail and use it to execute scripts ( collecting yahoo addresses from someone mail, sending this email using Ajax technology to them and then redirecting them into a sample site).

Finally I should mention that I don’t like to disturb no one. Since I live in iran and taking a Job in good computer companies is very hard (becaue getting Visa is very hard from US) I just want to prove that I have some abilities in web programming . And I like to work with professional team like you if there is any way to do that.

Regards

While I can’t confirm that this was indeed sent by the virus author, I can say that neither McAfee nor any other reputable Anti-Virus software vendor will be recruiting the Yamanner author anytime soon, or any other known virus author for that.
