the snowman :-)
Happy New Year to all.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] strange messages
A few days ago I received this:
From: Bryony Barnes <b_bry...@hotmail.com>
To: Mike <h4gtx.co.uk>
Subject: Re: Fwd: Next edition of QM
Under it was the same green box you've included in the mail below to the
groups and under that it said: 17:08:49 29-December-2018 (H4gtx).
I also had a message to my tabor60@gmail account which was similar and from
the same person. The subject was H4GTX but I can't remember the details as I
deleted that one. It seems that the sender might know I used to own the white
H4 with the number H4GTX and also that I was previously the editor of QM - not
something the 'public' would know unless someone's e-mail address has been
hacked. This type of message should always be deleted - without opening!

Martin,
I have recently received a strange that sounds similar to the one you
received. Mine had the subject "Re: Fw: My silver Q" and had a green image
labelled "Display Message" - attached is a screen capture of that image which
is safe to view.
The image if clicked would lead to a website link that I strongly suspect
would try to download malware. Therefore if anyone else is receiving
unexpected emails like this be very careful when opening them.
As a general rule if you are not expecting an email do not trust its
contents. This is especially true for any emails relating to payments and/or
invoices. The bad guys has started compromising company email accounts and
sending out emails requesting backing/payment details are updated to their back
account rather than the legitimate owner. If you receive emails of this nature
from someone you know always call them on a known number (do not use a number
on their signature as that might be updated too!) to confirm.
To answer Martin's question I would think it is more likely that someone
else has their computer/email account compromised. My email came from a
Hotmail account, but I do not see that account within this group.
To minimise the risk of an email account becoming compromised I would
strongly recommend a good password (think of something ~17 characters long)
that is unique to that account. Also all the big email providers, Facebook,
Twitter etc will offer some form of 2-factor authentication and this should be
enabled. A long password might be difficult to remember, so utilise a decent
password manager so you only have to remember a single strong password. For
work and personal reasons I have over 200 passwords and without a password
manager I wouldn't have a hope of remembering them all - I only have 3 that I
need to remember and the reset are stored in password managers.
I know from professional experience that companies are losing money to the
bad guys via this type of social engineering so please be cautious when opening
emails.
Regards,
Steve

Hi all,
hope all Quantumers (not forgetting other kit car owners) had a good
Christmas! I had a message this morning entitled "Brush painting gel coat" from
someone called Barry. If Barry has my email via the group that's not a problem,
but the message had no script, just attachment so looked suspicious I deleted
it. If Barry wants to pick my brains then no problem, can he send another note!
To Jim, Steve or other techi people....... Is it possible (or even
likely) that my computer had been infiltrated by someone who's gathered a
subject and my email name (which isn't used in many places) and sent something
malicious?
