In the meantime Sober.q has become active, instead of sending copies it's sending spam messages now.

This is quite the opposite from the message the Sober author included in his latest creation.

These spam messages link to right winged articles.

So in a way we're seeing the same story as with Sober.g again.
Sober.g downloaded Sober.h, Sober.h in turn also sent out spam.

I can remember that the Netherlands were completely flooded by those emails back then, judging from the numbers that Sober.p generated just before it stopped it probably won't be that much different this time.
