horribilis Oh lord. Are they back?
horribilis Or just on the old email?
chrysler8080 My email address was taken hostage, all my contacts are now getting regular emails from me offering treatment ideas for their waning wanger
mimi The chaff of life seems to be invading every corner.
horribilis Oh dear. And the provider of the email won't do anything? Time to shuck 'em off and move on.
chrysler8080 horribilis: I'm just keeping everyone here on plurk UP to date. :-P
horribilis Oh, okay. You rascal.
horribilis xoxoxo
chrysler8080 mimipal: It hurts me so because I have had this address for almost 25 years and now I have to let it go.
chrysler8080 mimipal: and my contacts list is loaded with mainly my piano tuning customers. :'-(
Άτροπος That sucks, Chrysler. I’m sorry to hear you have to make the switch, but it sounds like it’s time if this is a repeat occurrence!
mimi Sounds like the provider should have a better spam filter.
Άτροπος Sounds like the provider needs an education in security!
Άτροπος You’re sure your computer hasn’t been hijacked, right?
chrysler8080 Atropos: I fairly sure. It seems to be an event taking place every three days or so. A mass mailing goes out to my list.
chrysler8080 and I never EVER open up attachments that I'm not certain about. I don't know how it happenend
chrysler8080 I have heard from 2 customers having experienced a similar situation. One told me to simply change my password.
chrysler8080 But the damage has already been done. What will I do if someone actually orders from me ? :-P
Άτροπος If you can get someone to send you a complete copy of one of the messages, with all headers, I can do some forensics.
Άτροπος In the meanwhile, you should still run a few rounds of anti-virus and anti-malware, especially if you’re using Windows XP.
Άτροπος It’s quite possible to hijack your PC without e-mail being involved, sadly.
horribilis That's horrible! It could have come from mine, too, as Chrysler and I send each other emails and s
horribilis s
horribilis StumbleUpons all the time.
horribilis sorry about the sibilance. My fingers have some sort of impediment today.
chrysler8080 Atropos: thanks for the offer of doing some CIS for me. I'll see if I can dig up a mailing.
horribilis I'll look in my spam folder too.
Άτροπος Any time—but it is *imperative* that all of the Internet headers be included. Ideally send the spam as an attachment to a new message.
Άτροπος If/when you find ‘em, send ‘em to atropos@mac.com
horribilis Okay. Will do.
