A weird macro virus story

Guys,

Some of my co-workers here at NIST got an email macro virus which
appeared to be targeted to cryptographers.  It appeared to be
addressed to Moti Yung, and come from Lawrie Brown and Henri Gilbert
(though that name was misspelled, maybe a transcription error from an
alternate character set).  Did any of you notice something like this?
The email appeared to be addressed to several submission addresses for
various crypto conferences.  

Wow, we've really made it as an influential group of people.  We're
important enough to be *targets* now....
