Virus/Spam Warning!!

If you get an email that appears to be from UPS saying that they have an undeliverable package. DO NOT open the attachment. It is a virus that retrieves info from your computer. I have Malware running as I type this, so far it has found 10 files.

It is a very ligitamate appearing email.

This post checks out factually on all points.

Also noticed that you and Dan Quayle spell 'legitimate' the same way.

The "undeliverable package" is hope. Conspiracy!

Well played, JB.

I shall withdraw, regroup and seek vulnerabilities elsewhere.

Yow! That's a bunch. I wonder if any anti-malware programs know how to block it?

Tried to open it on my smartphone a few weeks ago. Thankfully the phone didnt recognize the file type, and wouldn't open it.
