How to treat an investor

One of Japan's biggest banks said Friday it accidentally e-mailed a computer virus to some global investors last week, but said no harm was done to the investors' or its own computer network systems. A spokesman for Fuji Bank Ltd said: "It was sent from a particular personal computer which we do not normally use. It's outside our main computer system in which we have built a solid monitoring structure." The Financial Times said in a front-page report Friday that the virus causes the recipient's computer to display an insulting message on the 14th day of each month calling the viewer a "big stupid jerk".
