Has anyone else been spammed?

[Jonny]

Sorry mods, don't know if this is the right place to post this...

I've just logged into my Yahoo mail account and found a whole load of rubbish in my "bulk" folder.

In amongst these messages was one from hostmaster@ seatcupra.net, subject "your password" with an attachment called reg_pass.zip

There was another one from webmaster@ westec.uk, subject "Registration Confirmation" with an attachment called reg_pass_data.zip

I have not opened these attachments as I don't think the mail is genuine - for a start I already know my SCN password & I have not registered with Westec.

Anyone else been spammed???

ive had a lot coming through my btinternet (yahoo) account last week or so

full of viri

unknown as to where its coming from though

 

[flashbsd]

run the full header on it, and see which ip is sending it off, then report it

Check your anti virus is bang up to date, but sounds like either one has got through sniffing through your email on PC, or your mailbox on yahoo's system?

We are currently getting hammered at work with viruses, at last count 3k virus email attacks per hour! All getting blocked, but it's causing major delays with external email in and out, but this isn't Yahoo -sorry off slightly off topic!

ive had loads of these over the last week or so going to my hotmail and work email ..... they all contain viruses so be careful ! not sure where there coming from but I know quite a few people who are recieving them ... someone or something is getting into peoples address books

I've got a BT Yahoo account also and have loads of junk in the bulk folder too.

But..... I thought the point of the 'bulk' folder was to filter the spam out of your mails though?

It'll *probably* be from someone on SCN who's got the kinda worm that sends as if from the domains in it's inbox.

If someone can pull the Senders IP from it i'll check it against the server logs & x.ref it to the usernames

worked before user was too stupid to understand tho

Yes, I've had the CIA one a few times in the last week. (And the dodgiest site I visit is SCN! )

Also getting lots of emails supposedly from Ebay and Paypal recently saying account has been suspended - look really like the real thing but all links point to a different location :S

I wasn't getting any spam until this thread started, but here's what I've got from the headers now.

Name: host86-142-138-201.range86-142.btcentralplus.com
Address: 86.142.138.201

The emails are laden with the win32/sober virus incase anyone is stupid enough to open the attachments.

[WeeJase]

[LCR mat]

Ive recently had my hotmail password changed happened to a mate to- no emails sent between us though. its possible a few ppl knew his but noone other than myself knew mine- it was a 17 letter/number combination so pretty hard to guess too.

 

[Seat_Lass]

I had a load come through my Bt (yahoo) account too from this site and a few others.

I get the same junk too. Even increasing the size of my penis, but last time I looked I didnt have one
