I keep getting email from "Chat" with virus files attached. The body of the
email shows it comes from chat@skymaster.c2-tech.com. Isn't this Chris's old
list address?

Someone subscribed to the list has a virus. Many of the current nasty
ones send out email to everyone in their address book and the "From"
address is forged from another entry in the address book. This is a
huge, known hole in microsoft's email client. Should be easy enough to
find as I can't imagine there are that many chat list members running
Outlook with your address in their book. Take a look everyone and see
if you are the guilty one....

Got an email message from John Vornbaum this morning that looked VERY
suspicious. It contained an attachment which most likely was a virus. I
deleted it. Some nasty virus probably pulled John's name from an address
book and sent the message to me. It's importent to be vigilant and alert to
supicious looking emails.
Good luck everyone..!!

I definitely didn't send anything to you, Randy.
I'll check my system, although it came up clean last night...

Hi John,
That's what I figured. I'm sure that it was a rogue virus-infected program
out there somewhere. Got to keep alert.

So true Randy!
The one that appeared to be from the skymaster.c2-tech.com address was a
good example. Neither that computer or even the domain exists any more.
Whoever had the virus had that old address in their address book still.
I see nobody has "fessed up" yet :-)

A possible source could be the chat list text pages, which are visible on
the internet. I typed my name in google.com and many chats that I was
involved in, when our email address was still c2-tech, came up in the search
results. If an Internet crawler goes over these pages, it will harvest all
those email addresses and who knows what these suckers do with them. The
fact that the c2-tech domain has been out of circulation for quite a while
already, gives credence to my theory.
Go into google.com and type in "Randy Dettmer" (not the quotes) and the very
first item shown is our chatlist with all sorts of email addresses in the
text. Some of you might remember that when Matt took over the list, I
supplied all the old chat lists from my server (I am a nut for collecting
all sorts of useless things) and they also come up in that context, but with
the old email addresses intact.
In google type in "barry hancock commander list" (not the quotes) and you
can see the old list in the archives coming up right away. That is the
thread in which Milt wanted to know if I really exist. :-)

They spoof our names. How they get hold of them is a mystery, or an art in
deception. I noticed that names of people that I communicate with appear as
"From" people in spam mails. They are not even in my address book. So, now
we are aware of them.
