Richard Threebars, SASS #35671 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Sometime in the last few days my confuser has been hacked and the E-mail acct has been taken over. If you have receieved any E-mails from me in the past several days and opened them your computer is probably affected too. The good news is that the fix is reasonably simple. Just change your password for your e-mail access and then notify the folks in your address book I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, also apologize for any inappropriate content which may have been sent you. If you receive any e-mail from me dated before 1255PM 8/31/11 Delete it without openeing it. R3B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Same thing happened to me 'bout three weeks ago. I changed my email password... next thing I knew my email had been compromised (after the password change) and my checking account drained. Be alert... and do a very complete scan if you haven't already! And on the outside chance your antivirus program may have been compromised, you can do a remote scan using TrendMicro's "Housecall." This does not provide ongoing protection, but will find any resident virus infections and quarantine 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint McCloud 3103L Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah... I got a couple of e-mules but never opened the attachments... Looks like it was going alphabetically through your directory... Vaya con Dios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
