Quote (DickDanger @ Sep. 09 2003,10:03 pm) | how does that virus work? I have had something going on where e mails are being sent out from my account, but I am not the one sending them!!! It is really pissing me off though....-DD Out |
DD, The Sobig virus "spoofs" email addresses. Basically what it does is put an email address in the "from" line to make it look like it came from that email address when in actuality, it didn't. In the past few weeks I have received emails from folks from this board and others with the Sobig virus, but I know that they didn't actually send them so I didn't mention it to anybody. I also received return emails from Autoresponders and servers that said that I had sent an email with a virus, when I didn't.....it just looked like I did. I actually shut down my SMTP port (25) on my router to not permit outgoing emails, but still received messages that I had sent virus infected emails.....which I couldn't have.
Anyway, no worries now.....the Sobig virus ended transmitting yesterday. Today you shouldn't get it anymore.
