friends of theirs?
Someone… *sigh* is spoofing e-mail with virii in it from my domain (unsung.net). The individual is using accounts such as nathan@, betty@ etc.. The IP address is 67.123.245.118 and they are using dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net. If it continues admin at the ISP will be contacted and the matter will be pursued with the fullest extent of the law. You will not be warned again. Play somewhere else.
In other news…be careful where you turn around. The side streets are just being plowed. I helped someone who got stuck *in* a driveway this evening. Heh. Beware!
250K bounty for MyDoom creator
From a Zdnet article:
‘The controversial SCO Group has offered $250,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or group responsible for creating the MyDoom virus.
The company also said Tuesday that it is working with U.S. Secret Service and FBI to identify the author of the virus. Also known as Novarg and Mimail.R, MyDoom spread quickly across the Internet Monday, traveling as an e-mail attachment and infecting PCs whose users opened the file. The program instructs infected PCs to send data to SCO’s Web server from Feb. 1 to Feb. 12, essentially flooding the Web site and making it inaccessible.’
Ugh. If you have enough knowledge to create something like a virus… surely you should be able to find something more constructive to do your 1337 $k!LLZ. Help the open source movement. Just seems like a waste… especially since in time, the wanker will be caught. Yes, you’ll get your 15 minutes… then 25 years to think about it. It doesn’t help that M$ has such crappy ass software such as Outlook that can’t wait to execute an attachment. Not ever end-user understands the potential ramifications of .exe .bat etc. file. Yes, shit happens but things like this are unnecessary. I hope Novarg spends the same amount of time in jail as it will take to re-install OSes , and delete every piece of spam he generated. How annoying. Grow up you jerk-off. (yes… I’m bitter – I’ve been getting 5x the normal amount of spam I get… not *just* the penis enlargement and low cost smokes today. And it seems I have to re-install my sister’s OS. Joy) At least write non-destructive virii – if all you want is notoriety.
