I don't remember where I copied this from, but it's a new interesting twist on spam filters and worms:
The Internet epidemic du jour is the Blaster Worm. I'm not writing about it because it isn't very interesting; it's just more of the same thing we've been seeing for years. But there's one new idea. One variant of the worm downloads a file whose name contains an anatomical term that many spam filters block. I wonder how many emails about the worm never reach their recipient because the filename is given? VERY clever.
