I got an e-mail on my computer that says:
from: ORTEGA ERINN [mailto:vincent@giftmugs.com]
Sendt: 1. mai 2006 15.02
to: **************
subject: Tell me you don't like this stuff?
You are being emailed because you are a user of BlueSecurity's well-known
software "BlueFrog." http://www.bluesecurity.com/
Today, the BlueSecurity database became known to the worst spammers
worldwide. Within 48 hours, the database will be published on the Internet,
and your email address will be open to them all. After this, you will see
the spam sent to your mailbox increase 10 - 20 fold.
BlueSecurity was illegally attacking email marketers, and doing so with your
help. Many websites have been targeted and hit, including non-spam sites.
BlueSecurity's software has been fully analyzed, and contains an abundance
of malicious code. This includes: ability to send mass mail to users; the
ability to attack websites with Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS);
the ability to open hidden doors on any machine on which it is running; and
a hidden auto-update code function, which can install anything on your
computer and open it up to anyone.
BlueSecurity lists a USA address as their place of business, whereas their
main office is in Tel Aviv. BlueSecurity is run by a few Russian-born Jews,
who have previously been spamming themselves. When all is said and done,
they will be able to run, hide and change their identities, leaving you to
take the fall. YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES and expect to
get away with it. This email ensures that you are well aware of the
situation. Soon, you will be found guilty of computer crimes such as DDOS
attacking of websites, conspiracy, and sending mass unsolicited bulk email
messages for everything from viagra to porn, as long as you continue to run
BlueFrog.
They do not take money for downloading their software, they do not take
money for removing emails from their lists, and they have no visible revenue
stream. What they DO have is 500,000 computers sitting there awaiting their
next command. What are they doing now?
1. Using your computer to send spam ?
2. Using your computer to attack competitor websites?
3. Phishing through your files for your identity and banking information?
If you think you can merely change your email address and be safe while
still running BlueFrog, you are in for a big surprise. This is just the
beginning...
What shall I do? Did I receve this e-mail becous I already have spam? I haven't installed blufrog on my computer! My computer is only a month old!!! HELP ME!!!! |

hello hogni,
They accuse you of spreading spam messages, but the message you pasted here is spam. It doesn't mean you have bluefrog on your computer, I guess you just have leaved your email address on some website and now spammers can use it to send you useless email letters. You should not put your email address into suspicious web forms. For more advices take a look at How to protect from Spam?. I bet you don't want your email box to be flooded by letters like the one you showed for us. |
