sorry if this is in the wrong section, but i didnt know where else to put it....
but has anyone else been receiving weird emails from ppl here at isratrance??
ive got ones from ppl ive never spoke to before, with no message inside it either.
just today i recieved a reply from cyberpunk to a message i apparently sent him (not to my knowledge) with the text:
> Hi,This is a excite game
> This game is my first work.
> You're the first player.
> I expect you would enjoy it.
WTF! ? ! ? !
can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon??
there really is something weird going on!

Well Reece these are Viruses: Here are some wise words spoken by Karnaf of this forum:
It's called the Klez virus (aparently version E).
It's a very annoying worm that gets in your system, searches mail softwares and starts sending email with random subject lines to email addresses it had found there. It will even send emails to people that you don't know that their email address is somewhere in the body of an email you recieved (all these forwarded email...).
It also changes the address of the sender, so it's very hard to follow it.
for more info and cleaning tools check http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.e@mm.html
I got a couple of these every day but since I work with hotmail they are cleaned before they reach my hard drive. There is no way to stop it from coming so just delete any large files you get from someone unknown to you and hope for the best. Good luck man.
 Both teams played hard |

when u get virus from someone it doesn't mean that this someone has a virus on his computer
it might be faked very simple
i can know that isratrance.com has cyberpunk@isratrance.com
i do connect to mail server with telnet to 25 port
and with simple commands send e-mail like it was sent from cyberpunk himself...
just disregard and use antivirus

Reece, if it's a yahoo mailbox then do the following - open the messege. On the top right side of it there a "full headers" link (just under prev | next | inbox). Click it and you'll get all the info anyone might need.
I guess what CyberPunk and Shivas are interested in is the line that goes
Received: from 212.154.181.7 (EHLO smail.somewhere.dom) (212.154.181.7) by mta511.mail.yahoo.com with SMTP; 09 Jun 2002 02:57:27 -0700 (PDT)
Please REMOVE my cellphone number from any SMS spam list you may have. Thanks.

Just to clear something - I think that all that IsraTrance team could do after you send them that info is to try and find the origin of it and let that person know that his PC has been infected.
The emails are not being sent from the IsraTrance server

I experienced it too. Recieved e-mails from good half of users in the forum. Highly annoying
Everyone in the world is doing something without me |
