Thread: Maggots, please pay attention..

I've been getting some mails from primedia and/or return-mails from maggots, with attachments. I'm sure I haven't sent anything, and I'm sure my firewall and virusscanner are up to date, but my guess is, some maggot has been infected.

Please take care when opening attachments, even if it's from persons you trust.

That is all.

Big company that provides a lot of our internal network solutions got hit big today too..

Haven't heard much other than it may be contained in .zip files.

Got a few .zip attachments, and a few .txt.scr.

ayuh, wierd stuff. i have gotten over 20 failure delivery notices in my yahoo inbox, when i have not attempted to send any of these folks anything.

Exactly what I got. Just don't open anything.

btw, strange that Yahoo doesn't pick it up...

I've gotten a handful too. Struck me as odd.

I had two come tru today. One from a co worker so I thought it was a legit .zip, NOPE!!! Puter facked. It is now clean, but only after a lot of work with the IT dude.

Got another to my work addy from a Maggot in my Yahoo address book, from a Yahoo account as well with a .pif. I deleted that one as only a handful of Utards have my work addy. I knew then I did a bad thing to open that internal email zip attachment.

Went thru 7 different anti-virus and other stuff programs to make sure!! Cool resources at work at least. THis thing hit quick, as one of my coworkers got the infected email with .zip attachment FROM HERSELF. Very weird.

I was just on the phone with 2P and I'm saying " Dude, I got this wacky lookin zip attachment from so and so" and he's like "NOOOOO!!". Luckily, my better judgement had prevailed.

That doesn't sound like the Splat I know...

It hasn't effected my websites email. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't why people who write viruses don't write them for macs, but I'm glad they don't.

Because Macs suck.

That's it asshole. I'll be writing another virus for you PC bastards.

They figure you already got reamed bad enough when you bought your computer.

Ok, let's just say I'm glad I was on the phone with 2P........

To late. Just checked the website box to start to answer the nightly mail. 30 messages. All titled "Hello" from 30 different names.

....that pays my salary. I've run both platforms for years. PCs are fun for web browsing (pop-ups and viruses), but when it comes to real graphics work they're a joke. "Dude, you're gettin' a piece of shit."

Luckily, I'm smart enough to resist opening emails from "Kirby Pryor" entitled "gaucherie lank aerospace glossary lank"

Although, the email entitled "delectable didn't inaugurate bitwise brewery" made me think it might be from Buster, but it was actually from your friend and mine, "Mohammed Conrad."

Seriously. I would have opened that one.
