Some will appreciate this broadband off-topic and some won't. I'll take my
chances.
There are several new viruses going around big time today, some apparently
via ham reflectors. I got several -apparently- from well respected hams.
I'm sure the emails weren't really from these hams, but from the address
books of hams without adequate AV software and updates. I was sort of
surprised I didn't see anyone mention these today on these reflectors, so I
guess I'll be the sacrificial off topic lamb!
*** I wasn't going to say anything - Until I received the last 4 digits of
K4GMH's credit card!! One of the viruses apparently emails all or part of
some email on your system - In this case an order confirmation from
Microsoft for something Mike ordered!
Of course, the last 4 numbers don't hurt anyone much, but would you want
everything in your Inbox emailed to everyone in your address book? And so
on and so on.....?
