Happiness in life is a great dog


« on: April 28, 2012, 12:42:41 AM »

Anyone else get a questionable email from another member today.
It came with nothing but the link and it was from a trusted member, but when I tried to go to the link it made my investment in symantec worth every penny. I'm wondering if the members email got hijacked

Not sure if it got hijacked or faked/
Let me see if I can look at the headers.
I got the same e-mail.

It looks like it got hijacked.

Just kidding, I just had to yank your leg a littlle I did not go to the link in the email. I am overly cautious when it comes to email, especially ones that do not have personal greetings or messages in ones own words... My NIS did not say anything, but I did not try the link, so that is probably why.

Were you Hijacked, or a Virus Victim? That Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't let it beat you up Mark, could happen to any of us and those that get mad about it can go piss up a rope. Not like you did it yourself or on purpose. Pardon my language, but fuck'em if they don't understand you got attacked

This is common. Download Malware bytes ... The free version cleans this.
Make sure you reboot afterwards even if doesn't ask.......

OK...downloaded Malware Bytes and it found 3 things.
I attached a screenshot below...>>>
Should I check all 3 and "quarantine" them?
But I think the problem is on my work comuter because the php links in those other emails started
as I was driving home from work!  hissy fit
So there's probably something on my work computer?

Gee ...how in the hell do they get all my email addresses?
Even the one's I haven't used for years?

kill them all and change your passwords. Before you change them though, make sure you check that any email password change notifications are sent only to you and not whoever did this. Also change the answers to any security questions you use for lost password  identification. My wife had this happen a couple years ago and it sent out the stuck in a foreign country and can't get home email to every one on her contact list
