ATT Peter Kassak - looks like you have virus problem

[Jan Bobek]

Hi Peter,

I have received an e-mail from "you". Bit unusual spam trying to make me believe that you work for an electronics distributor in China. The spam is unusual due to the fact that quite a few e-mail addresses from your mail program are listed. Looks like your e-mail database was hacked.

Good luck

Jan

Thanks Jan,

I was aware of the problem...It was solved...Some BUG somehow build into my PC and used gmail to send spam...however it was killed in few hours later:) The email address is again safe...
SORRY to all for this trouble...Shit happens :(

[Jan Bobek]

OK Peter

BTW: I don´t want to buy anything :D

[Peter Kassak]

I know, I do not sell any Chinese crap ;) sorry

[Michal]

Probably you should, Peter. It is more lucrative in our countries than writing books or articles :D

[Peter Kassak]

will consider it;) hmmm. NO THANKS:)

Also, to be clear almost everything is now produced in China including the "high quality" of almost anything. The difference is that it has "designed in the USA" (or something similar) on it...

One of way is to make very complex passwords for all acount and the ther to make real time monitor of traffic. Even then you could suffer from mailware, adaware, hijackers or so on. So update every day your PC protection and scan against digital enemies.

Cheers :)

I know, my fault I left inbox opened, logged in, and put PC to sleep...went away, and worm used it and got in and send this spam right away...It had to be some trigger from outside scanning whether incorporated worm is active, and if so, tried to attack email client and send spam..it succeeded...but was killed 10 minutes pater I came home;)
I wish I could hand a trophy on the wall:))

Ruy,

I agree, I heard somewhere that when Dalai Lama wants to buy a Tibet flag, it always has "Made i China" label :mad:

Peter,
you should change your email-address in your forum-signature as well.
It still has "pkassak"
Regards
Robert
