email intruder

[baiskee]

hey pipol, na encounter nyo rin ba ito especially those who have tsikot email accounts?

i received an email from my tsikot account. definitely hindi ko pinadala yun to my yahoo account. ang masama, virus pa yun for sure kasi ".exe" yung file. sino kaya gumagamit?

[NightRock]

It happened to me several times on my personal email account (ISP).. yung tipo na I send my self an Email nakaka gulat nga. then I traced it coming from Australia.. But hindi ko maisip bakit ang naka lagay sa sender email add ko rin.. Pero na trace ko IP galing talaga Australia... medyo magulo nga kaya di ko nalang pinansin

[5Speed]

me virus yan......dont open the attachment...

kami dito sandamukal na ganyan ang natatanggap kahit dun sa mga katabi mo lang sa opis me matatanggap ka na email....

nung i-trace nung IT namin eh meron sa singapore, new zealand, etc...nanggagaling yung email....another form of worm virus daw ito... nakakalusot dun sa antivirus at firewall dahil parang legit na email yung dating.... just dont open the attachment....

[FrankDrebin]

Malamang Beagle Virus yan. Ganyan din yung problema ni Ungas.

[karlbo]

yup... sa tsikot mail marami akong emails na natatanggap.... from cargirl pa nga eh... pero pagtinignan mo yung attachment and yung subject.. walang kwenta.... tapos .exe file pa ang nakaattached. minsan .scr(it could be sircam) i guess....

kaya pinagbubura ko nalang kasi im sure magPM naman ang tsikoteers hindi magemail sa tsikot account eh... :D

[gretzy]

ako din, nagugulat ako bat ang dami kong narereceive from the yahoogroups na sinend ko, weird!


naobserve ko lang, sa halip na yung lalabas eh yung name mo ang nakalagay e ang email id mo.

for example ang email ko is geude57*yahoo.com, ang nakaregister na name is gretz eugenio. pag virus yan at di ako ang nagsend, geude lang ang lalabas na name ng sender!

Just rule of Thumb, don't open email from unknown sender.

Email viruses also known as spammer extracts email addresses and information from our own address book and contacts. They use these addreses and randomly bradcast emails. There are time that they just juggle up our name and add characters then use it as the sender.

Emails are NOT being delivered from origin to destination directly. Our emails will hop to other networks till it reaches its final destinations. Along the network hopping there are sniffers that extracts infos to all emails that passes their networks. In the process will collate valid email addresses and the reason we are receiving unsolicited emails.

Is our email safe for eavesdropping? Yes it is, the email messages are encrypted during transmissions, only the headers or email addresses are plain text. If you want a totally secured emails we must use digital signatures.

Sa tingin ko yong nangyari dyan is nakatanggap yong
e-mail address nyo ng e-mail with the same content
tapos nag-a-auto send yon sa mga address na naka sulat
doon sa address book nyo.

di rin siguro..yung tsikot account ko wala naman akong nilagay na addressbook.

kakaduda talaga kasi email ko pa talaga yun. ganito:

from: baiskee*tsikot.com
to: bai_esi*yahoo.com

nagduda na talaga ako...eh ako to eh..alam ko naman mga pinadadalhan ko.

[edzzz]

i work for an Internet company.

Actually those emails are a type of spam. These emails multplies itself!! These programs are intelligent enough that it takes addresses from your address book and sends it to them including yourself. Some of them contains virus, some are just ads or scam attachment.
Meron na ngang viruses embedded sa mga .doc or .jpg file attachments eh.

Doublea is correct, dont open email attachment with .exe file from suspicious mails, its like opening a can of worms

[gretzy]

dati nga may nag-email sa kin galit na galit, bat daw ako send ng send ng mga infected files sa kanya, nag-away pa kami kc ayaw nyang maniwala na di naman ako nagsesend!

[gearspeed]

Parehas pala tayo gretzy kase yung sa akin naman yung kaklase ko na email sinesendan ako ng attachment na may virus sabi nga rin niya sa akin hindi daw siya yun.
Kaya sa tingin ko nahahack yung email account...

[111prez]

ako, rule of thumb ko ay if don't know the sender personally, i don't open any attachments sent with the email.

kung baga "if you are not open, then i don't open"

har har har !

or you can open your email through your email server's web interface if it has one.

best bet is to change your email client from outlook to eudora, mozilla mail, thunderbird, or some other non MS application.

Even if you open you email using web interface clients such eudora, OWA or what have you and you open up the attachment, then you are triggering the virus to explode and run wild in your email system.

Reading email messages will not harm you, but opening the virus triggered attachment will do.

There are smart email viruses right now that it has own email engine when triggered and will flood your gateway with spam emails. In return DOS, Denial of Service attack.

Good rule, but unfortunately, not always applicable nowadays.

There are viruses which go through your address book and use them as the sender address. So pag natanggap mo, the sender IS someone you know.

Damn virus writers! Scum of the earth!

eh ang problema nang-galing kay Mr. ODELL ONG ung e-mail..un pala virus ang laman ng attachement..badtrip. Kaya ayun dami ng virus-infected ang natatanggap at naipapadala ng e-mail account ko. Sabi ni bossing JEDI form of Virus Worm yan..baka NETSKY Virus daw. Meron naman daw nakukuhang anti-virus dito..kaso tinatamad ako eh..hehe

Just sharing.

Dati ang dami ko din na re-receive na ganyang mga mails with attachment from an email known to you. But when I installed a Symantec Antivirus 9 (corporate edition). I de-delete nya ang attachment automatically.... so wala ka ng chance na ma explode ang virus. Most of them were NETSKY virus. Some are Beagle. Symantec 9 is far better than 7.6.
