Email virus making the rounds I think.

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Just checked my email and got three weird emails. One supposedly from clonetrooper.

Seems Spectre's thesis has been confirmed.

Wow, spoofing. How inventive. This guy (or worm) must be REALLY sophisticated!

Either way spoofs are bloody annoying, I just got three emails abusing me for sending out a virus. I was absolutely horrified to be accused of such a thing, not from MY machine! I run a tight ship thank you very much.

I got one from sS yesterday - I even posted a thread on it to find out if this was for real or a virus. Been informed, deleted the message. Looks like this thing is seriously hooked on TLR...

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

@Steel, nasty little thing isn't it? Glad it only went to my html email site. So far that is the only vulnerable thing to this Lancer's Reactor plague of email viruses lately.

You know, I wonder if the person behind these may be the same as the Microsoft Hoax creator with regards to Starfyre.

@SnS

Same mentality at least but what are the odds to it being the same person? I wonder what the axe is that needs grinding if that's the case.

@SS & indy this appears to be a more general problem than the starfyre hoax
as it leaves a port open for the author i would assume that a dos attack on some unfortunate is the ultimate goal (probably ,if you believe what you read,this will occur if money doesnt change hands)

*checks email*
Nope, nothing there. One of the advantages of having an email address so long it doesn't fit in your profile :d

Great computer!
What kinda chip you got in there?
A dorito?

While it is possible that some person is spoofing other people's addresses, it is just a likely that someone here has been infected with Bagle, and that it has scanned their address book and sent out copies of itself using the host's email address. That's what worms do.

Post Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:44 pm

that would probably be me i got numerouse bagle infected viruses and deleted them
as for spectre,
