I just got one from "Tayawhitestar"
is that one of the forumgoers?

well, but my email provider erased the annex with the virus Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd but informed me that it was there...

@ nic: that might be the best extension for a file that is carrying a virus "evil"

Oooo, sneaky (that would be taya17 btw)

catalina_marina 08-05-2004 02:52 PM

Yeah that's 17... So they don't all list us as our usernames, hm? So now I wonder, do they go around by multiple names per forumgoer? Not that it really matters... I'm just curious.

NAHTMMM 08-05-2004 02:54 PM

They appear to be using IM names, at least when possible ;)

NeoMatrix 08-05-2004 02:57 PM

So you think you are safe because you do not use IM?

danieldoof 08-05-2004 03:39 PM

I also got 2 from "aozm" infected with Virus "Worm.Bagle.Z"

is that a member of the forum too?

catalina_marina 08-05-2004 03:55 PM

Not that I know.

Who doesn't use IM?

No, I mean they're putting IM names in the subject line or sender line or whatever if such names are available. For whatever reason :?

I've never used it, but I have received several of these infected emails, all with regular email addresses. I'm thinking a spybot may be picking them up off the email buttons found at the bottom of each post.

aozm is me, it's part of my email address is use for msn. Stranger and stranger...

mudshark 08-06-2004 08:08 AM

^ Got one of those this morning.

danieldoof 08-06-2004 11:03 AM

does anybody know "Saberlime"?

got a mail "forum notify"

infected with Virus "Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd" again

PointyHairedJedi 08-06-2004 02:23 PM

I've actually yet to get one of these. Very strange.

Gah! Noooo, that's the beginning of my e-mail! T_T

Got another one this morning from "Azom" or something like that... :/

taya17 08-08-2004 12:31 PM

That's FREAKY.

I haven't gotten any of those, truthfully... for which I am thankful. But then again, neither of the three email addresses I use regularly are associated with this board; I haven't yet checked the one which is.

If someone, or something is hacking into the board databases I think we oughta let someone on the PhpBB admin know about it. It's scary.

Draknek 08-08-2004 01:45 PM

A while back, I got a few bounced messages from Zeke, but none directed at me.

I highly doubt anybody's hacking into the database. More likely, they're just collecting the emails from everybody's profiles.

Alexia 08-08-2004 01:50 PM

Kinda ironic it happened when the boards changed for "added security" :wink: ...wonder what's going on. Evilness... :evil:

Ginga 08-08-2004 02:13 PM

We're all going to die! *screams and runs around in a circle*

I think it's time we implemented some of our "protect your planet" procedures. :wink:

Alexia 08-09-2004 07:05 PM

Ok, now i keep getting them from kal-el. :evil: Any takers? :wink:
