pilotdave 0 #1 November 22, 2005 I know they're not sending them on purpose (or maybe at all), but so far today I've gotten emails with attached zipped exe files (probably infected with some virus, but I haven't checked) from skydivingmagazine.com and baserigs.com. Anyone else? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharimcm 0 #2 November 22, 2005 Funny, but I got 14 e-mails just today (filtered through my junk e-mail box) from places like skydivestore.com and some other skydive thing. They all had attached files that I didn't open... I thought I was the only one.

bob.dino 1 #3 November 22, 2005 Nope. I may be teaching grandma to suck eggs here, but are you sure they're from skydivingmagazine & baserigs and aren't joe jobs? Usually when I start getting crap like this it's because a third party with both my email address and that of the purported sender in their Outlook Address Book has had their machine compromised. View the message source and do a reverse lookup on the source IP. See it it resolves to a customer machine on a large cable/dsl network. Betcha it does .

PhreeZone 20 #4 November 22, 2005 I'll put money it them being spoofed addys. All you need to do is find someone that has both you and the other email address in their address book or in their cache, ten they are probally infected. Look at the headers of the email, those will tell you the originating ISP usually.
