An explanation...

I received this in my email.  For those who have difficulty dissecting it, it's a warning sent from a financial aid Listserv for Virginia Tech.

Basically, the listserv received an email that claimed to be from leemon@planetquake.com.  The email would show the short blurb saying "here's my first game" and have an attachment called INSTALL.EXE.

Which is infected with Klez.

If things had gone as its creator had planned, the entire LISTSERV would have received Klez.  Those who opened it would have flooded the entire Virginia Tech campus.

And my name would have been all over it.

Thankfully, two things happened.  One, the VT email network has antivirus software running within their email system; it snipped Klez out of the executable.  Two, their financial aid list doesn't allow emails from anyone outside the vt.edu domain; consequently, the email was sent back to the fake From address, namely me.

The result is that I'm sitting here with a very incriminating piece of evidence... and if you examine the header closely, you can trace all this nonsense back to an IP address from Alltel, which is a Midwestern ISP...

Specifically, Lincoln, Nebraska.

I'm about to send a few emails of my own.

People create virii for many different reasons, but one of biggest must be that there are so many dumb people using computers. The most succesful method of trying to spread a malignant bit of code, is by naming it kournikova_naked.exe, iloveyou.com or pleaseclickmeyoudumbpieceofshit_theresboobiesinside.jpg.exe.

The edu virusscanners & your bit of evidence are great Lee, kick some scriptkiddie-ass.

Lee, that sucks!  I've received emails like that from Neurobasher, Skid, and other people I've emailed in the past.  The subject line always had some part of the message, but attached was an iframe exploit virus, usually a .scr or something else.  I think what happens is someone else who you've emailed in the past gets hit with this and it sends a chop-shop message to everyone on their email list.  A lot of people have it set to automatically add people who mail them to their address book.  Warden got sent a virus from my netzero address which actually originated somewhere overseas.  That's why email worms suck cloaca, and the people who write them should be publicly shot in my opinion.  With a chaingun.

Well, I feel much better... after researching the virus, this is exactly how it operates.

In short, no one's doing this on purpose.  It's just that one of my friends is apparently infected.

The virus will spoof the email FROM address using the name of someone in the address book.  Failing that, it will search the computer for any email address, be it on webpages or document files.

At this is at least easier to deal with than having one of my friends attack me.  ;^)
