[sharechat] Ciberlynx Florida Users and Viruses
Hi All,
Anyone who has received a message from 'me' within the last 24 hours
please get rid of it. I have been off line for a day so they are not.
I know that some of these have been sent out with my name forged as
the source, as I have received several bounce messages. If you look
at the header you will see that this message is not from me at all but
from a United States ISP, Ciberlynx Florida ( I/P No. 216.242.172.212).
Over the last 24 hours I have received over 100 unsolicted messages
from this source. This is, I suspect, as a result of a virus.
The virus messages have the following headers:
"My details", "Thank You!", "Details", "That movie", "Wicked
Screensaver", "Approved", "Your application"
Generally any messages with these headers should be destroyed.
***Here is the crunch point of this post.***
Since I don't know anyone in Florida, I either have a 'secret admirer'
who has stored my address on their computer somewhere (nice), or my
address is being held by a spammer. Perhaps Philip might like to
check up on his Sharechat subscribers from Florida with this in mind?
