Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2004Amazing email timing
Whoever just tried to send me an infected email should know that it was cleaned up before delivery. Any idea who would have sent that to me?

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Same as I got once before that you know about. Remember? file attachment: price.cpl The file attached to this email was removed because it is infected with the W32.Beagle@mm!cpl virus. I've gotten that one recently; could be some sort of email harvester and it spoofs other people's addresses making it look like they sent it to you when it was really someone else who got your address from someone's address book or from the newsgroup. I didn't open the attachment so I was ok. ares >> file attachment: price.cpl > In article > <nospamattmjiatroepidemicnospam-07427E.11044315112004@orngca-news03.soca [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > The file attached to this email was removed because it is infected with > the W32.Beagle@mm!cpl virus. -- Howdy Sabra; I just realized something: You're on a Macintosh like myself and a couple-a others on the SMD... And you-all are running MacOS X... That's supposed to be relatively impervious to virus and such... So I don't see how this file could infect you, unless it's specifically directed to attack Macintoshes. It seems to me the only thing you have to worry about is passing it on to other recipients in your emails. If you have Little Snitch, that should catch any unauthorized attempts to access the Internet by that worm. Hope this makes sense... -- Howdy all, sorry I haven't graced y'all with my words of wisdom lately, but there's not been time... Not even TRYING to keep up with the Jan/Amalgam stuff...

SP -- Not a real Addy, yet Gentlemen, Considering I've been around this newsgroup for a while, having the same initials as RB. I would appreciate it if you could find some way to distinguish us as distinct individuals other than by initials. Your comments really do not look all that favourable of me.

Well we could call you Roy. You don't endorse the Hell-Ozone do you ? ;-) -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com | >Gentlemen, | > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] | | W_B Or you could refer to the other individual as Bertolotti and let Google bring some new blood to this group. I don't really endorse Hell, though, I felt like I've been there a few a times. I understand from the likes of David Suzuki, that if we don't respect Ozone, we are going to feel like we are in hell. SignatureRoy DotSeaEh is .ca > Gentlemen, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > If all the Steve's here could do it, surely there is a solution. I hear you, Roy, and that is actually why I always put Ray Berlotti's initials as <RB> (sharp parentheses) when referring to his lecture comments, as I'm well aware that your RB acronym belongs here while <RB> is not a reg. In truth, once or twice I may forget, especially in the body of a posting, but that's why you see the <RB> that way. I'll change it to RBBD as in Ray Berlotti BondoDontist, then there will be no confusion. 'Sides; nobody seems interested in hearing about what he had to say.... But, remember Roy, NOBODY here refers to you as RB, it's always Roy. Sorry, hope this clears that up.

I'm no newcomer to the net and I'm not likely to overreact to ordinary "small stuff". This is a little different. Believe me, if someone wanted to target one person in the past, it could be done.

They probably have your email stored in their address book because they have replied to you via email before ( it was auto-stored upon reply) Now they have a worm/virus that gets all the addresses it can from the Outlook address book and sends a copy of itself to all of them. Then, it looks like they "sent" you an email when you get it.

BTW, I have an empty address book on OE at work - at home I just gave up - too many users. carabelli > Whoever just tried to send me an infected email should know that it was > cleaned up before delivery. > > Any idea who would have sent that to me? > > TW I still get frequent e-mails with infected attachments (though I don't remember the bagel virus). My ISP (Earthlink) has a virus blocker I can set, which removes the attachment before it reaches my mailbox. Last year I was receiving as much as a hundred or more PER HOUR, before I had Earthlink set up with virus blocker, and though I had Norton Antivirus on my PC, I still had to log onto my e-mail account every couple of hours or the mailbox would get clogged with this crap and no legit. e-mails would get through. About the same time, I started to get reports from folks in various newsgroups I've participated in that they were having the same problem, so I assume there was some robot harvesting e-mail addresses from usenet.
