My Dad sends me every Urban Myth thats out there . . . I finally got him trained to confirm the stuff he distributes - this is Snopes confirmed, and it's just good situational awareness, even though it's from 2008:
Feel this worth passing along. With the holidays coming up, I can see where this could be a real problem.
The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS along with a packet number. It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS - IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days. Snopes confirms that it is real.

General McChrystal Breaks His Silence
Speaking publicly for the first time since being relieved of command in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal opened up at the Innovators Summit in New Orleans about WikiLeaks ("it's sad"), Afghan President Hamid Karzai ("a great partner"), and the "great danger" of the instant news cycle.
McChrystal talked about his move to alter counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan, changing the use of air power and connecting with civilians at the local level. He made it a point, he said, to apologize personally to Karzai when an incident involving civilian casualties would occur. "Then, as events would occur that would test that trust, we had a reservoir to fall back on," he said.
At the summit, McChrystal denounced WikiLeaks release of 400,000 classified documents on Iraq, saying "individuals are making judgments about threats and information they are not qualified to make."
