Re: [chairs] Virus sent to your list in forged email?
Max is in Australia.  He is on the CIQ team as 
well as I believe Registry

and ebMS.

 

As you note - probably his address in someone elses 
address book.

 

Thanks, DW

We just had one sent "from" a member (Max Voskub). It is a known virus, 
  with the message body ending in "Test, yep". You can only get infected by 
  executing one of the attachments. I think this one fakes the origin by 
  taking an address from your address book, so the one in your name probably 
  came from someone who has your name in their address book.

Chairs-

    
 

    
Has anyone else 
    had forged email with a virus attachment sent to your email list over the 
    last 24 hours? 

    
 

    
I don't believe 
    the email to the XRI list purportedly from me was actually sent from my 
    machine since I believe my machine was off at the time the email was 
    apparently sent. Also, there is no evidence that anybody else in my address 
    book received such an email. 

    
 

    
Just trying to 
    nail this down. Thanks.
