base283 0 #1 March 29, 2006 From skillscamp@freeflytrainingcenter.com supposedly. Be aware. I can't believe that they would (if they really exist) send a .pif file. I didn't open it. take care, space Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freekfly 0 #2 March 29, 2006 Just an FYI.....someone is just using that name to send spam....a common practice. Just to prove it. Notice the X-Originatin-IP addres: 195.29.140.237 However if you ping the site: C:\>ping www.freeflytrainingcenter.com Pinging freeflytrainingcenter.com [24.62.17.236] with 32 bytes of data: A different address.....this is the same server that their MX record is pointing to.....I should know, I manage the domain. Just something to note, probably 90% of spam & viruses today come from an addresses that is not the true originating address..... -Brian___________________________ www.brianbuckland.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #3 March 29, 2006 QuoteJust something to note, probably 90% of spam & viruses today come from an addresses that is not the true originating address.....This is correct. How it works: - An everyman, such as Ford or Microsoft employee, home computer got infected. - He/she is a skydiver so they have skillscamp@freeflytrainingcenter.com in their addressbook. - The virus stole the email address from the addressbook - The virus sent an email message with a forged "From:" email address from the home computer. So person "X" can have a computer virus that masquerades as person "Y", and send it to person "Z". Person "Z" ends up accusing person "Y" who truly never sent the virus. Because of the way modern computer viruses work, 99% chance, that freeflytrainingcenter.com is totally innocent here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
