Hi guys, as I have received over 100 bounces of mails which pretended to be sent from me to various unc.edu adresses and some more which bounced because [name of DOS [EMAIL PROTECTED] did not exist at that somedomain (e.g. orudge, erwin.waterlander, ondrej, atari, dosius, fd-dev, jeremyd, ciri, rene.ableidinger, michael.kallas, kheidens, dank...), I would like to remind EVERYBODY, in particular users of GTE.net / Verizon (most of the mails were actually sent by GTE users' PCs pretending to be me...), in particular users with fast DSL connection:
Do not be stupid. If you have a fast internet connection then you can make people really angry really fast when your PC gets infected with a virus or spam relay. Grrrr. In this particular case, the mails contain URLs of German nazi / racist homepages - pretty new news items actually, so the cause is probably a very recently "born" virus. Or actually an OLD spamrelay / backdoor virus in combination with somebody now using the zombie PCs as mass-mail botnet. So far for today's lesson in computer security.

Time for a reminder. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
