Virus from ted@neowin.net?


Recommended Posts

Haven't got it myself yet, but we don't have anyone named 'Ted' on Neowin staff as far as I know.

Radish?

It's MyDOOM. MyDOOM does a search of your harddrive looking for anything that looks like a domain name and sends itself to anyone in the address book or random email addresses based on that domain name. As a result, someone (maybe not even someone that knows you) had neowin.net on their HDD in a place that MyDOOM found and spoofed it as coming at ted@neowin.net.

Nothing to worry about. I don't think neowin.net is suceptible to MyDOOM, as it's running on Linux ;)

It is. It's one from those sites that you can send emails and you decide waht email it could come from. I could spam you all with an email like radish@neowin.net. :whistle:
