No one loves me and I don't get much email from the folks who tolerate
me. I just got back from having lunch with some guys who tolerate me and
I found scads of messages from all over -the funniest among the bunch
for our Nanog readers:
<user>@cisco.com
<user>@tacnet.com
<user>@wcom.com
<user>@sprint.com
Looks like my internetwork equipment vendor and my two favorite peers
have their Windoze stuff in a complete state of 'higgledy piggledy' - a
technical term from Bloom County cartoons, for those not old enough to
remember.
Today's problem virus forges the "from" field. So all those emails
"from" <user>@cisco/tacnet/wcom/sprint were sent from an infected computer
(or computers) that had those email addresses in it. Probably from a
computer on a competitor's network. You need to look at the received
headers to find out where the emails are are *really* coming from.
