OT . Watch out with your emails

#1

Post by ceya »

Allen treat responded back to an email I didn't send him . Lucky he didn't open it and told me so. I seen an earlier post with people getting other people's mail from here and they didn't send it.



Just a heads up !



S/F,

CEYA!

ceya,

Thanks for the heads up. This thing is rampant again. I got email from people i havent heard of since adam...

There should make a Spyderco software so sharp it would chop these bugs up once and for all.

Thanks and have a great day,
Kaizer.

It's happening to me all the time. Looks like it became a real business sending infected mails. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
However, if any of you will receive a mail from me, if it's genuine, the subject line will prove it. I don't send patches for your software, neither offers for Carribean travels, nor pics with Britney naked <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Aloha!

YES, watch your e's! I received a peculiar one from Spyderco customer service...

I NEVER contacted their CS department, so i don't know why they'd be contacting me!?

I tried to download it but it wouldn't because it was infected with some kinda virus called netskyd@amm...

Be careful out there.

Hi Y'all,

Our IT hound checked out Spyderco's system on Monday and we are crystal clean. Likely culprit is someone who has several Spyderco email addresses in their address book and has the ick.

Everybody scan!

scanned last night about 9pm, I'm clean.

I get 3-4 of these suckers a day in my email accounts. if I'm not expecting an attachment from someone, or the subject line doesn't tell me what I'm getting, the email gets hucked.

Haven't picked up an email virus yet.

Hi Daywalker,

Will do! How is it where the sun shines today (sigh)? Spyderland is once again getting the white stuff.

Aloha All!

Whao...just got a large file e from someone claiming to be the Deacon. I did NOT open it as it showed up in my bulk bin, a place where my friends don't go nor belong!

Does this, or do these idiots not know that we ALL have knives?! Very Chicken $**T on their part. God, forgive me for saying so, but my Matriarch cannot wait to "meet" ANY of them,and I have yet to train LIVE w/ my First Strike! Grrrrrr...

Whoever these idiots are,...Psalm 27!

You did the right thing by not opening that one Daywalker, it is definitely NOT from me. It's getting to the point where, between the spammers who troll places like this harvesting email addresses to spoof and the sicko's who write viruses, we forumites are going to have to come up with some kind of a "secret handshake" phrase to use in our subject lines when writing to one another.

It's sad that firewalls and anti-virus software have become the two most important pieces of software we own. Running a computer without them these days is like walking naked and unarmed through hostile territory.
