Just as a data point, I've received email with an "unknown" attachment from big () boss com, too. Haven't bothered to chase it down. John In a message dated 2/7/2003 4:54:13 AM Eastern Standard Time, "Chris Carter" <chris.carter () ebunda com> writes:
Hi guys, For the last two months or so I have been receiving emails with the I-Worm/Sobig virus attached about twice a day. My anti-virus sw protects me well so I am not infected in any way (nor has anybody else here). Initially, I used to ignore the messages and delete them; after a couple of weeks I decided to trace the source IP from the mail header and send complaint messages to the corresponding ISP. But the Bast**d keeps finding other IP's to mail me from. Messages come from big () boss com. Is anyone else being targeted? Is this a common occurrence? Am I the only one? Cheers!
