From: "Keith Green" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Guys, I keep getting a virus report for e-mails that I haven't sent.
Don't worry; the other day I received a mail from an acquaintance saying
viagra is good, and I'm not that old and my acquaintance knows that. So I deduced it's a virus.
(...)
The only reason I think that it might be coming from the EOS Mailing List is because 'Tom', whoever he is, has an a1.nl e-mail address. Needless to say, I haven't sent any e-mails to 'Tom', nor have I sent any with a subject of 'Thanks', etc.
The only way for you to verify who Tom is (in terms of email) is if Tom uses "digital certificates" or "pgp signatures". Until then anyone can pretend to be Tom to you, to be you, anyone for that matter; "on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog". This "identity problem" is a known fact for many years, it's just that recent viruses take advantage of it.
I like 'Tom' because it goes out of the classical 'Alice' and 'Bob' stuff :-)
I don't suppose that our server could be infected, could it? If anyone has any ideas, I would be extremely grateful.
My understanding is that these worms/viruses take email addresses from address books. This means it could run on any PC,
Yeah... and please expect a virus virusing a digital camera too.
It happened to the mobile phones it will happen to DSLR's too :-)
