Strange Emails Any received strange emails today with a zip file? Iv got a couple from a unknown address with the title of "unknown" ....... I didnt open the attachement & have heard theres a new virus doing the rounds - anyone else had weird mails
It's called 'social engineering'. The idea is that it wil get the interested enough to open it so it can infect you.
I got one similar, had a zip attachment which I opened on Hotmail and had a .pif inside, which will definitely be a virus
Yeah I've had loads though IT have been removing the attachments. All from strange names with titles saying "Hi"
yeah we have blocked all attachments with .zip & .exe at work, we are getting loads from outside off people who have obivously open them at home.
ive had loads from firstname_surname@hotmail.com... title - about you then 'they're watching you' / 'be careful they're with you' as the text... with an attatchment deleted by the uni- Alert generated on: Saturday, February 21, 2004 13:09:29 GMT Standard Time The attachment to this email, final.zip, has been removed as it has been detected to contain the W32/Netsky.b@MM!zip virus.
getting a few a day, a lot of them all seam to be 32kbish to be fair hotmail is sticking kost fo them in the junk mail section, but the junk mail filter is compleatly cabbaged i basicaly have to check both normal inbox and junkmail inbox, for any normal messages as its pot luck as to where a message from a new person is going to go to pain in the arse i had to delete sum junk mail addresses because i was up to my filter limit as well got bored with reporting spam and crap, just have to learn to live with them now me thinks
