Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
I received a virus in StarTrekMod email account addressed to me. The person who sent this used my name and attached a virus to the email. This means that I am being targetted and will more than likely have to ask CNC to shut down the email services for the AST site.

What have we come to. Why would any one want to send me a virus? Go figure.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
Are you sure its not just an address book spamming virus on someone else's machine?

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
SJ I am positive. Why would an address book for StarTrekMod use Atrocities and send me a virus attachment with the title Space Empires?
No this was a dilibrate assualt. If I had opened that file I would have been utterly screwed.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
The worst part is, what have you done except bring us wonderful Star Trek mod goodness?
What virus was it out of curiosity?

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
The virus was embedded in an HTML document that was titled Space Empires.html
The virus detection software deleted it and I did not click more info so I do not know what it was specifically. I honestly thought it was just another worm virus randomly emailed. When I saw that it was addressed specifically to me, with space empires file attachement I was shocked.
Yes I have the email and name of the person who alledgedly sent the email, but that could easily be some pretending to be that person so I chose to keep the name private.
I mean why send a virus using your own name? The guy is either a genius or incredibly short sided. So I figure the name an email address, although linked, may just be an attempt to hide the real senders identity.
Either way it is most distrubing.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
Thats what I don't like about emails you cant tell who sent them for sure. The whole system should be reworked to be more secure becuase of things like this and more and more people are using email instead of normal mail. There is no way to completely code a brand new system and get everything and everyone to use it though.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
This would be incredibly ironic if it was simply your virus scanner being paraniod.
