Hej RFAare,
Om jag har f�rst�tt Sobig-F r�tt s� 
inneb�r det att den utnyttjar email spoofing.

Detta inneb�r att en infekterad dator vars dokument
eller  epost-katalog inneh�ller epost adresser
slumpm�ssigt v�ljs ut.

Jag har f�tt ett e-post fr�n FS data att jag skickat
ett brev till [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Efter kontroll i dataorn s� kan jag inte se n�gra sp�r
av viuset enligt antivirusf�retagens beskrivning.

Alts� m�ste n�gon p� rfa eller n�gon som skickat till
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  ha viruset.

Kan detta inneb�ra att jag med flera i rfa felaktigt
kan kallas spammare eller i v�rsta fall komma p� en
svarta listan?

Har n�gon mer f�tt detta svar fr�n FS-Data?

Email spoofing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] uses a technique known as "spoofing,"
by which the worm randomly selects an address it finds
on an infected computer. The worm uses this address as
the "From" address when it performs its mass-mailing
routine. Numerous cases have been reported in which
users of uninfected computers received complaints that
they sent an infected message to another individual.

For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer
infected with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linda is neither using
an antivirus program nor has the current virus
definitions. When [EMAIL PROTECTED] performs its email
routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan.
The worm inserts Harold's email address into the
"From" portion of an infected message, which it then
sends to Janet Bishop. Then, Janet contacts Harold and
complains that he sent her an infected message;
however, when Harold scans his computer, Norton
AntiVirus does not find anything, because his computer
is not infected.
