I'm ordinarily skeptical of virus alerts and such, but this one
seems possibly relevant to this list's membership. I don't track
all the usual Microsoft warning sites, so forgive me if this is
old news; these things just started arriving here this morning.
The list's traps have caught several mails, all about 90K in size,
with forged From: headers pretending to be from regular list
contributors. The payload in all of them has been an attachment
with name: "My Money.mny.exe"
and Content-type: application/x-msdownload
What makes these different is that the email body contains a
six-line-or-so fragment of what sounds like a real email, probably
borrowed from the email folders of the virus' host. The text is
definitely trading related, and my conclusion is that these were
sent by people receiving this list's traffic. In this particular
case the sender(s) were all using adelphia.net accounts, fwiw.
Rest assured that none of these things will ever be sent through this
list. And don't open any attachments with the above characteristics
on a Microsoft computer.
