Virus Bomb

[ceagle]

Be very careful today, everyone. :/
I just received a boatload of viruses and who-knows-what-else to ALL of my unpublicized, barely used broadband accounts. Luckily I have full isolation of these, they can't launch and they can't be passed on or propogate, but there may be something sinister brewing out there in cracker-land this weekend... so please be careful :|

Turn off PREVIEW if you use Outlook Express or Netscape Messenger mail, and go to OFFLINE to read messages, even pulling out your connection cord to the internet while you look at if you won't be too inconvenienced. And don't click on anything suspicious.

*grumble grrrrr...*

John Dvorak a has very interesting editorial on this, here . It seems the virus writers are getting better at spoofing legitimate emails. Pretending to be email from system administrators with attached documentation or patches. Scary.

Thanks :-) It is very scary indeed. Especially about "the Big One" :-X
