[Elecraft] OT: be careful what you open

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

I'd like to thank the person who opened an E-Mail attachment that should 
not have been opened.

The attachment contained a trojan horse -- malware that then harvested 
E-Mail addresses from their machine.

I know it was a list member, because my E-Mail address for this list is 
exclusively used for this list, and I'm now getting unwanted "spoofed" 
mail telling me about packages that are undeliverable, or that I need to 
appear in court.

Those E-Mails have attachments, allegedly containing the details of my 
offense or how to claim the package.

The E-Mail is very generic.  If you read it critically, there is nothing 
that says it is from a legitimate shipper, legitimate court -- just a 
slightly scary call to action.

It's another trojan horse.

It seems to me that after 3,000 years, we would have learned to keep the 
metaphorical horse outside our cities, but no, there are some who say 
"look at the pretty horse!" and we all suffer.

Thank you for your future consideration.  I'll go change my E-Mail 
address now.
