OT E-mail funny business

Legg inn av Leo van de Pas » 24 nov 2004 23:41:01

In the last 12 hours I have received about 10 messages from different "webmasters" from several countries, the last one was from re-mail_system@cegetel.fr

they are all the same, they were unable to deliver a message (to or from ?) but do not give the e-mail address (to or from) for that you have to open an attachment. I think this is a new trap to deliver viruses.

Yes - I received a warning about them. For me the tip-off was that the
undeliverable email was at a time when no one had sent non-reply email
for several weeks. I've gotten to where I don't trust the anti-virus
software enough to open attachments. Even if they seem to be from
people you know, they may have just attached themselves to a random
name from your own address book. Good luck and don't open that
door...Bronwen
