mass mailer, yes, but I dont think that address was spoofed out of nowhere. According to Symantec, it searches files for email addresses to use and tries to send the email using the persons email account, but is also known to spoof. That leaves three possibilities:

1. This guy from sony had our email address in one of his files and he was infected.

2. Someone is disgruntled at us and decided to send it to us in hopes of tricking us into opening it.

3. It is just a huge coincidence and the virus somehow come up with both our email address and the sender being from sony. I highly doubt this option though.

I'm thinking it was probably number 2, but 1 is definately cooler :P
