Hi Ralf,
you never make a mistake? Then you never make a "backup"?
The thing that is more interesting for me is how the person really made it.
As much as I could see the mail archive only writes:
wilhelm.spi...@mxxx-online.de - okay, it is not a big problem to find the whole name if it is in the same text and to add the correspondig mail subject.
But I am nevertheless astonished that someone investigates so much work for such a small community.Or was mail-archive.com hacked to get the addresses?Yesterday I tried to create a "honeypot" for this link on an old unimportant XP machine,clicked on the link - and after one second Google appeared, I noticed no download. I checked the HD from outside the machinewith 3 virus scanners - nothing.At my first trial in a secure environment with a booted Linux CD with HD write protection one day before this worked different, I noticed a short download, but I did notbackup it. So I have the feeling that the link was removed rather quickly. Why? Because of the discussion?
Willi
Unfortunately, the random and possibly malicious nature of the sender is exaggerated that we for a while now don't really see the actual sender, but only the "Technical Discussion....." from the mailing list... :(
