Re: [PLUG] This mornings attack
|
The address was WAHAHA123@USA.NET
That account was open and closed this morning.
I believe a server identified as server.sincom.on.ca was also involved in
this.
Someone else in the HP user community out in CA received the same email.
He said he opened it with Netscape and it tried it do something but it
failed.
He's not sure what it tried to do.
I've heard no further reports about it.
