[TheForge] OT Computer question

Sun Mar 9 21:00:00 2003

Well, it could have been a virus. Some of the Klez spreaders used that ruse.
But Klez and some of the more recent worms simply steal names from an
address book and forge the headers. So, since your virus scan didn't react,
it is more likely that a message sent by somebody else's virus infected
computer used your address, which was then sent back to you as
undeliverable.

These are clever idiots.

Donn

I just returned to my desk after having been gone for several days to
find a returned mail message that I never sent.  This sounds
suspiciously like a virus delivery ruse.  The attachments are 88.5 kB
SuperBender and 9.7 kB ATT00020.txt and the recipient was a
[email protected], an address that I am vaguely familiar with, but not in
my address book.  Anyone out there who has had a similar message?  My
Norton Anti virus did not react to it.
