Yesterday I received an E-Mail from my ISP. It said, "Dear user, the
management of Dtg.net mailing system wants to let you know that, Some of our
clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from
your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay
trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions.
Please, read the attach for further details."
Two thinks made me suspicious, the first was that the sender was
[log in to unmask] The second was the mixed capitalization of the ISP's name.
I called the tech services department and they said they had not sent the
e-mail. Upon their request I sent them a copy of the e-mail. It turns out
that had I opened the attachment I would have in fact been infected by a
virus.
I just thought I'd pass this along because the old adage of don't open
anything from someone you don't know doesn't apply here. The perpetrator of
this scam may use your ISP next, especially if it is a small independent
ISP. Verifying saved a heap o' hassle.
Pray for Peace,
Yosef
