Email from Alla???Follow

#1 May 20 2004 at 6:54 PM Rating: Decent
I've been getting strange messages in my yahoo bulk mail from members of Allakhazam. First was "from" Ihuffman, then someone else, and just today (at posting this) supposedly three from Alla himself. All containing some .zip file.

What gives? No offense to anyone, but they all were immediately deleted. Is this some virus going around? Or something I'm missing out on?

It's a virus. Some person who views these forums is infected. The virus reads all teh e-mail addressses from the temp cache files for anyone who has an "e-mail address" button in their posts. It then randomly e-mails itself out to otther people, spoofing the from address each time. Allakhazam admins will never send you an e-mail from an @allakhazam address with an attachment without specifically notifying you to expect it first. Even then we usually use our own e-mail accounts to send that.

Don't worry, you aren't missing out on anything.
