Causing quite a stir on Defence Net!:
WARPs, please disseminate this information to all units at all levels.
There is an email with an .wmv attachment currently circulating throughout the MOD which is causing e-mail servers to crash. The email, entitled “Squaddie Humour” contains a 52.742 megabyte .wmv file. It is a spoof of the Peter Kay video “Is this this the way to Armarillo” in a .wmv format. The file is entitled “Is this the way to Armadillo?”
Because of its size and the passage of this file between email accounts, e-mail servers are becoming overloaded and are crashing.
It is imperative that all recipients of this email delete the “Squaddie Humour” email upon receipt, ensure it is deleted from their “deleted items” folder, and do not send the document to others.
