Looks like the Classiccmp archives may have been broached by some lame
spammer. Has anyone else gotten an audio file from S. Ring
<_sring(a)uslink.net> with an audio file attachment, bearing the subject of
an old CC message?

THAT AIn'T NO AUDIO FILE!!!!!
Take a closer look at the extension! AFTER the MP3, JPG, DOC whatever
extension, it has ANOTHER extension of .SCR or .PIF.
THAT is the BADTRANS virus.

What I find interesting is that the message was masquerading as a reply to
an old Classiccmp message. Either someone who got infected has a very
large inbox with old-assed CC messages, or someone targeted the attack at
the addresses in the CC archive.

It was not *really* an audio file, but yes, that happened to me.

Sellam,
Looks like a lot of places have broached the Classiccmp as I've been
getting spammed up the ying-yang and my mail blocking policies are on the
brink of a nervous brake down as of late, I know a lot of other people from
the mailling that I speak with one to one have mentioned the same thing that
they suddenly been inundated with spam.

Curious, as I use this account exclusively to receive CC messages, and
mostly post to the list from it. I have never received a spam message
addressed directly to <foo(a)siconic.com>om>. I bet the spam that others are
receiving is a result of their posting their address somewhere else.

I changed ISPs in July and haven't received any spam since moving
other than a couple that were sent to the list. I used to get spam all the time
before that. I have not posted to any newsgroups since the change.
I almost miss it. :^)

Don't know what it was but yes I received a message with an old subject
line and no message body just an attachment which I immediatley discarded.

No, heed Allison,
if you are on a W/lose architecture.
Submit "+virus+badtrans" to Yahoo and
pick www.antivirus.com for instructions.
This is the first time I've seen an autolaunching virus on
my machine. I May not be infected, but I can't rest until
a few tests are completed.

With the others lately that have caused so much trouble, I've
not gotten hit at all at home, only hits on the servers at work.
WIth this new one, I've gotten 3 hits from it in the last few days.
It seems this one is a bit better at reproducing than the others.
