Jeber Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Why do those who are trying to spread viruses and trojans even bother if this is the best they can do?... FROM: administration@jeber.net | Save AddressDATE: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 13:51:33 -0700TO: <**********@jeber.net>SUBJECT: Notify about using the e-mail account.Dear user, the management of Jeber.net mailing system wants to let you know that,Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content)outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected bya proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,follow the instructions.For details see the attached file.Have a good day, The Jeber.net team Document.pif (Binary attachment) FROM: administration@jeber.net | Save AddressDATE: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 12:41:55 -0700TO: <**************@jeber.net>SUBJECT: Warning about your e-mail account.Dear user of Jeber.net gateway e-mail server,We warn you about some attacks on your e-mail account. Your computer maycontain viruses, in order to keep your computer and e-mail account safe,please, follow the instructions.For more information see the attached file.Sincerely, The Jeber.net team TextDocument.pif (Binary attachment)Besides the poor spelling and syntax errors, the idiots sent this to the administrator of jeber.net, me. I'm the "Jeber.net team". Duh...let's not make this too obvious, shall we. And then, let's append a binary attachment that only the totally clueless would open. To top it off, they reference an account that only receives business mail. I have never sent any mail out to anyone using that account. Wow, it makes it really hard to fear people who act so stupidly. Now excuse me...I have to write a couple checks for a business venture in Africa I can't really discuss, or I won't collect my 25%.

Guest Paracelsus Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 :happyrollsick:We get these where I work, all the time. Unfortunately....Some folks fell for it. Not only did some employees fail to realize that our IS team (all three of them) only send out notices as either "helpdesk" or their own names... But also that an internal e-mail will not have an "@" addy appended.Not to mention that some didn't understand that you should never execute a PIF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_P Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 some didn't understand that you should never execute a PIFAnd were those "some"s not running antivirus sw on their machines. And your internal servers let viruses pass thru? Good grief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief!You don't know Poco Graphite, Inc., Ed ;)The place is so backward, it like something out the sixties at times.Protection of any kind was almost non-existent until the past two years...Other than what employees, like me, did for themselves.
