DarkShadow Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 For the last few days, my 'gay affiliated' email accounts have been inundated with .pif virus attempts. They are recognizable by a date of 1998. For the most part they have landed in the 'bulk' section of my email, but they can be damaging if downloaded or the .pif file is opened. If you happen to see an email like this in your bulk or regular mail. Delete it. DO NOT reply to it. That will give them the opportunity to track your IP. Do not reply to them in chat, do not reply to them if you get it on a message board. Just delete it. Take care and beware. Shannon
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 6, 2006 Site Administrator Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks, Shannon. I had some a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't seen any recently. I thought they were odd, but decided to ignore them (given the old date).
knotme Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Yipes! I guess my spam filter has caught them so far, but I'll keep watch. Thanks! km
