[lug] Someone on this list likely has a windows virus

Mon Apr 29 12:28:51 MDT 2002

Either someone on this list has a windows virus, or else this list is
being targeted. Tkil noticed someone sent one of the recent windows
virii with the header forged to look like me. I just got one forged to
look like Alan Robertson. I have also received several of what I think
are Klez virus from non-BLUG sources, the epidemic seems to be started
again. But since this virus goes after everyone in the address book, and
probably everyone new mail arrives from, and since my name was forged in
to Tkil's email, and Alan Robertson's was forged into one sent to me,
all within the last few days, it makes sense. One thing that is in
common to every one of these is verizon.net in the return path. Verizon
is the common theme in the ones reaching me, regardless of whether it is
forged to look like someone from BLUG or from someone I don't recognize.
In tracing the actual dotted decimal address from the header of email
forging Alan Robertson's name, I found the real source was owned by what
looks like a Brazil domain, though I'm not positive (and I have recently
sent spam reports to spamcop about Brazilian unsolicited spam, some Mac
advertisement I think, but I don't speak the language). Anyway, I am
wondering how many people here have received messages which use the name
of someone from the BLUG list, beside me and tkil? How many have
recently received email which has a stupid subject like the one from the
most recent for me, "Look,my beautiful girl friend"? Below I'm going to
mouse paste the header and the virus indicator part, maybe someone can
get an idea. I'd also like to figure out who to complain to at
150.162.47.13. I'll be sending an email to verizon as well, since they
seem to be targeted to take the blame. Anyway, info follows below. Hope
it doesn't false trigger someone's virus software (though I can't
imagine a lot of people here are using windows, and even if they are,
most will use antivirus with it).
