i got mail from senator Bob Bennett
 

as you have probably noticed, in the last 2 days a new wave of email viruses have started to hit.
well, today, one of the emails with the virus i got is from [email protected]

the interesting thing is that i got it on an email i use for support at an dp movie arhive that i run.
do you think that he is one of my members? :Graucho

Hey PC

looks like you might be able to make some blackmail money if he is :Graucho

How much can you get for extorting a senator? I mean, jail time? :Graucho

Blackmail rules !! :thumbsup

they can't get me,
i don't live in the US ;)

If you live where I think you do, hit me up on ICQ and I'll tell you a horror story about a guy who got fucked for blackmail and did jailtime in the same country. And it wasn't even a US senator he tried to squeeze for money, it was a fairly small US tech firm.

EDIT: Yep, you're in the country I thought. They CAN get to you. :winkwink:

Viruses these days randomly assign an e-mail address to the From field that it has collected online. A senator would not likely be using his legislative e-mail for personal online use since generally interns answer those addresses. It was probably spidered from his webpage then was attatched to the e-mail sent by one of your infected members.

indeed
