I've noted a significant increase in emails arriving at our mail server with infected attachments over the last few weeks, I used to see three or four deliveries a week on most addresses but recently we've been seeing three or four a day on each address.

There's a silver lining to every cloud - this does save me the trouble of seeding the honeypots.
