Anyone using the broadb. ISP Cable 21 Techologies?

[TheDaniel]

Hi there!

 

I hope this topic doesn't produce to many groans.

 

I just got an email-rebound, to the adress I created for this forum, stating that many recipients are unknown.

 

Seems some computer is spreading the Sober.G-worm, spoofing my email adress, amongst others.

 

Normally I wouldn't be bothered. Happens all the time. But two things make me wonder.

 

First, I created this adress only for this forum. So it shouldn't be known much/elsewhere.

Second the infected computer belongs to an broadband ISP named "Cable 21 Technolgies" in the Phillipines. Judging from the assigned IP-range the company must be rather small.

 

So, if anyone uses this ISP, check your machine! ;-)

 

I hope the rest isn't to annoyed by this post, or all the tech-talk.

 

Best regards,

Daniel
