    Virus. WTF?

    Some bot is using my email address to send viruses to people.

    I get a shitload of them sent to me with a return address of [email protected] as well.

    I also get all these "Undeliverable mail" messages saying this email has a virus and cannot be delivered to recipiant.

    Fuck! somethingis sending out these things using my email address as the sender info. WTF?

    I know my email isnt sending this shit out, cause I dont use outlook, and al my domain email is forwarded to a yahoo account. So the emial addresses these viruses say they are from dont really exist. They only exist on my websites as contact emails, so some bot must have spidered my email address off my site and is fucking using my address to send viruses.
    WTF?

        are they from your own domain? As if they are sent to people with your email address?

        Heres one i got just 3 seconds ago:

        Note: This is an automated message sent from the Canwest Interactive
        mail
        system.

        We rejected an email message because it either contained a virus or
        contained a file attachment with a "dangerous" extension.

        Unknown infected with HTML/MimeExploit.IFRAME (CA(InoculateIT),CA(Vet))
        virus. The file is currently Removed. The message, "Japanese girl VS
        playboy", was sent from admin .

        Due to a dramatic increase in email viruses, Canwest Interactive now
        blocks
        email that has attachments with any one of the following file
        extensions:

              Subject: ismap alt

                    The retuen email addresses involved here are ALL emials ive used on my website for contact info.
                    I dont give or use these addresses for anything else, so it has to be a spider.

                    Emial addresses like: courtney at boneprone.com
                    and rates at boneprone.com arent used for anything else. In fact the emails dont exist, like i siad i have the forwarded to a yahoo account, so email can never really be sent from this address.

                            Sounds like it might be W32.Klez.E@mm or a varient of it, it runs its own small SMTP engine and spoofs headers. Believe me this little worm is fucking smart. It had ME offline for a few days tracking the little shits footprints around my machines. not a good thing ;-)

                                  The engine works like this, lets say Lensman is infected with Klez, but boneprone isnt, it scans lensmans address book and finds boneprones and my e-mail addreses, it will then send spoofed e-mail from boneprone to me (from lensmans machine) ill go to bone and say, hey you sent me a virus, but when bone scans his machine he isnt infected, lensman is.. see.. sneaky little fucker, huh?

                                    alot of them have been mutated to run completely off IRC now. Almost impossible to track down.

                                    The security industry has turned commercial and the bad guys are gaining a very big head start. CERT has had an "incident report" submission for a while but CERT sucks ass. They solve nothing and are always waaaaaaay behind. Securityfocus is dead but BUGTRAQ is still alive. All unusual incidents should be sent to [email protected]

                                    It is a mailing list for nothing but security specialists. They eat this stuff for breakfast. But they have to know it is there to eat it.

                                          good deal. The internet kicks ass. Let's keep it that away

                                          However, I have to disagree about CERT. I have found CERT to be totally inadequate. Typical Gov. workers.

                                            However, I have to disagree about CERT. I have found CERT to be totally inadequate. Typical Gov. workers.
                                            We will have to agree to disagree on CERT, i know they have always take the time to go over my papers and send comments back.. it had been a year before these sent i had contact with them, but i think they are still solid.

                                              I've been dealing with it too. I see emails from me to me or from one of my email addys to another one, but the header shows it comes from somewhere else completely. I also get notices that "I have sent someone a virus that wasn't delivered" but I run Nortons AV several times a week and it's always clean.

                                              I've figured it's some virus or trojan that not only collects email addys from cache to send out to, but also uses those cached addys as fake senders.

                                              After Sircam it's a total pain to have an email addy on a website. Since last summer I've had to resort to scanning headers only and deleting everything but emails I know should be clean.

                                                I received about a half dozen of them yesterday; it being 2:06 AM my time. Norton antivirus caught all of them. Yesterday was the first day I received them, saying E-mail I had sent was undeliverable, because it contained a virus, but I did not send the E-mails. Norton identifies those E-mails as being a virus; I didn't write down the name of the virus.

                                                  Question:

                                                  Are these E-mail viruses ever traced down by anyone, anywhere, and if so, what is done to these people?

                                                      My dad runs a couple of website's and sometimes he gets an email from a website visitor with a virus in it. Last time he traced down the guy's IP, and send the whole package to the Police, and the guy's internet provider. The guy's internet immediatly shut down, and he got picked up by the cops.
                                                      He had to stay in jail for 3 months and [i dunno a proper word] got a 'ticket' to pay ?5000 to the cops.
                                                      And...he's on some black list or something, he never gets an internet connectian again in the whole country of The Netherlands.

                                                            Boneprone read this man:

                                                            "Because this worm does use a randomly chosen address that it finds on an infected computer as the "From:" address, numerous cases have been reported in which users of uninfected computers receive complaints that they have sent an infected message to someone else.

                                                            For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer that is infected with W32.Klez.E@mm; Linda is not using a antivirus program or does not have current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.E@mm performs its emailing routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. It inserts Harold's email address into the "From:" line of an infected email that it then sends to Janet Bishop. Janet then contacts Harold and complains that he sent her infected email, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus does not find anything--as would be expected--because his computer is not infected.

                                                            If you are using a current version of Norton AntiVirus, have the most recent virus definitions, and a full system scan with Norton AntiVirus set to scan all files does not find anything, you can be confident that your computer is not infected with this worm.

                                                            There have been several reports that, in some cases, if you receive a message that the virus has sent using its own SMTP engine, the message appears to be a "postmaster bounce message" from your own domain. For example, if your email address is [email protected], you could receive a message that appears to be from [email protected], indicating that you attempted to send email and the attempt failed. If this is the false message that is sent by the virus, the attachment includes the virus itself. Of course, such attachments should not be opened"
