I got an email this morning, indicating that my KnoxGothic account had been disabled. Attached to the email was a virus.

If you receive an email that looks like this

Dear user of "Knoxgothic.com" mailing system,

Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper using in next
three days, if you are still wishing to use it, please, resign your
account information.

Please, read the attach for further details.

Sincerely,
The Knoxgothic.com team http://www.knoxgothic.com

it is not real, and the file attached is a windoze virus. DO NOT open the attachment.

That's bitchy. Thanks for the heads up!

It jumps out at you to a degree. You've got better grammar than that Vader.

These email virii always have such poor grammar in their messages.

thanks

hmph guess no one hates me enough to send me one!

darn those improper using peeps

Received this e-mail from KORRnet today that I believe is related:


From: (KORRnet Administration) Contact@korrnet.org
To:
Subject: VIRUS WARNING

To KORRnet Account Holders:

Several new viruses were released yesterday.

The virus related messages have a faked sender address such as
"staff@korrnet.org".

The Subject of these emails may read:

- E-mail account disabling warning.
- E-mail account security warning.
- Email account utilization warning.
- Important notify about your e-mail account.
- Notify about using the e-mail account.
- Notify about your e-mail account utilization.
- Warning about your e-mail account.
- Or, something similar.

The messages may include a password protected file and state, "open the
attachment with this password for more information."

DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.

Most likely, this is a virus related message, probably related to the
viruses Bagle.H, Bagle.I, or Bagle.J.
