[TheForge] Watch out for this s p a m!

[martin marks via TheForge]

I hate when these things go around. I hope everyone has some form of Malware protection on your PC. If you don't you can download one at the address below. It's freeware and very effective. Download the free version and perform a full scan. If it finds anything it will let you know and you can remove it. Keep running scans until it comes up clean. Just a suggestion.

 I HATE that feature and
 have disabled it when possible, if not I dump the
 "service." On the other side of the
 scale our ISP "MTA" has instituted some
 pretty draconian anti-scam and spammer
 policies. You can't send out more
 than
 100 copies of an E-mail so news letters have to be through a
 commercial
 acct and have permission.
 
 Something that's becoming
 more and more true every day is the adage. Post it
 online and it's there forever. I even got a
 spam from Chris Ray's
 "Sirocetar" address once.
 
 It probably wasn't
 Ray's acct that was hacked he's probably in
 someone's
 address book or someone just
 phished the address from archives or old list
 addresses, fora, or just drifting on the
 net.
 
 The more the web
 develops the more I wish for William Gibson's novel
 "Neuromancer" anti malware, called
 ICE and BlackICE. ICE would hurt a
 hacker's system but BlackICE would hunt
 down and hurt the person behind it.
 
 Sorry for getting off on a ramble.

 Jerry,
 No, I checked.  Not there.
 Gmail has a nasty feature that recalls email
 addresses "for your
 convenience."
 Start typing a name in the "to" slot and a list of
 names and
 addresses comes up -- some of
 which you don't even WANT there.  Can't get
 rid of them.  But Ray's address is not in
 that either.  So I figure his
 account must
 have been hacked after he died.
