If a PC is infected with an email worm, the worm usually fakes his sender address when it sends copies of itself to others. The faked address is usually taken from other email addresses found in the address book, the inbox or outbox, or even websites in the web cache. Thus, the worm probably stems from an UBF member or an ex UBF member, who probably is not aware at all that his PC is infected, and probably does not do it on purpose.
