FYI: "Fake @microsoft.com e-mail Spammed with Trojan 8/10/98 11:12AM PDTA user calling himself "Bad Sector" has sent out a mass e-mail to users containing a trojan called "Ie080898.exe". Rootshell has been working with Wired news on the issue and reports of users from the US to Australia have been coming in. Rootshell has confirmed that the trojan is not Back Orifice and appears to be nothing more than a program that sends an e-mail bomb to some users in Bulgaria (.bg TLD). As always, never run untrusted software. More information will follow with the release of the Wired article. rootshell.com - Actual copy of the e-mail." as reported on Rootshell. Hal PS: I read the email. Incredible what people will fall for. The wording was not characteristic of Microsoft. More like a Bulgarian Boris Badinoff talking to Natasha. None the less, enough people familiar with Rocky and His Friends still jumped in for it to be a problem issue in US and Australia. HR
