Just thought I'd share what I'm dealing with the last couple of days... we are getting overrun with bullshit virus-generated emails, each with (of course) a corrupted attachment.

What drives people to do this sort of thing?

Come on, QS. It's probably some guy outside of the States who has no command of English and reads this forum. After months of toiling through English-to-whatever dictionaries, typing into calculators, and deep deep thought; he's finally come up with 2/3 and is looking for your approval.

You've got to feel for the guy, really.

If you open the document and infect your computer it basically becomes their computer. This will use your resources to hack others, etc. There are kids who have thousands of compromised machines they can use for a distributed attack. Its sort of like the SETI at home project only for illegitemate reasons...

Good point, Celeval. I'll start opening them all, just in case.

At our office, it is like a war zone. I would estimate I get 20-25 of these a day. Of course, our anti-virus software strips the virus by the time it gets to us, but it is super-annoying. I've seen the gamut of techniques and have learned to appreciate the more clever approaches:

"Are these your sex pics?"
"Did you steal the car in this pic?"
"Is that your finger?"

The other humorous thing is when the more bookish attorneys at our firm don't understand the mimicry aspects of the virus program and think that the person who the e-mail is "from" really sent the e-mail. I've gotten more than a couple "Excuse me, but which matter does this document refer? I can't seem to open it." e-mails.

It is amazing that no matter how many times you tell someone not to open any attachments without first confirming with the person who sent it (its not enough to just recognize them anymore) end users still regularly open them and infect themselves....

April 2004 Top Pick of the Month
Life Energy and Technology Holdings, Inc.
(OTCBB: LETH)
LETH Receives $250,000,000 in Financing to Fund the Manufacture
of the Environmentally Friendly Biosphere Process System
"waste-to-energy" Units in the United States.
First Unit to Roll-out in New Orleans in early Second Quarter.
We are expecting earth-shattering upcoming news leading a strong
rally in LETH for a Company that has announced over $100 Million
in sales orders in the past year, and tops that record-setting
achievement by acquiring the equivalent of $8.62 per share in
cash for major worldwide expansion.
**Our readers grabbed substantial profits for our March pick**
USHG featured at .75
Reached 3.65 in 8 days!
Traded as high as 7.00 since!
The Biosphere Process System - Soaring Worldwide Demand:
LETH is utilizing the unique proprietary technology of their
Biosphere Process System to generate revenue from the disposal
of a wide variety of waste products at 5 to 7 tons per hour
which makes a major impact on the global waste problem. This
profitable and environmentally safe process converts into clean,
"green" electricity such waste materials as Municipal Solid Waste,
agricultural wastes, forestry wastes, medical wastes, industrial
wastes, sewage sludge, shale oil, sour natural gas, and the huge
market of used tires. LETH profits from the sale of electricity
created from the waste conversion on a continuous basis by generating
5 to 10 mega-watts per hour of electricity which is then sold to
replenish the local or national grid.
The Biosphere Process succeeds in filling an urgent worldwide need
for cost-effective renewable energy sources and a corresponding
universal need to solve critical problems in the disposal of waste.
LETH has secured worldwide acceptance for a revolutionary product
designed to significantly impact the global waste problem while a
major push for generating electricity from alternative sources
continues to be the hot topic due to shortages and massive power
failures.
Financing of $250 Million Positions LETH for Astronomical Sales:
The magnitude of this financing package goes much deeper than the
fact that this $1.50 stock now has accessible capital equivalent to
$8.62 per common share in cash. There are 26 Biosphere Process
Systems presently in operation worldwide. The available funding
could easily be used to produce 100 additional Biospheres. Now factor
in that the average sale price is $7 Million per Biosphere. We
cannot even comprehend what this stock should be trading for with
a potential $700,000,000 in future sales with 29 million shares
outstanding!
LETH Stock Guidance:
Current Price: 1.80
Near-Term Target: 4.80
Projected High for '04: 12.50
LETH's Blue Chip Partner - Fortifying the System:
LETH is an alliance partner with Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK, $21)
a leader and one of the largest providers in environmental, mechanical,
and electrical management consulting services primarily for the US
Government with annual sales of $800 Million. Tetra Tech will
coordinate the securing of necessary permits, installation, and
continuous worldwide monitoring of the Biosphere Process System
for LETH. Tetra Tech is now in the process of obtaining Department
of Environmental Quality permitting for the Biosphere Process in
the state of Louisiana. This is a monumental event for LETH which
opens the floodgates for major project revenues in Louisiana while
having a parallel effect on LETH stock in the form of a huge
near-term announcement.
Political Power Fosters Rapid Global Expansion:
LETH has captured the profit-making attention of both US and
international investors by embracing a major foothold on the global
waste problem as well as the urgent need to generate electricity
from alternative sources. This has been accomplished by successfully
creating major inroads to all corners of the globe through the
political contacts at the highest level from Dr. Albert Reynolds,
Chairman of LETH, who is also the former Prime Minister of Ireland.
Dr. Reynolds international stature has been instrumental in guiding
LETH into a position of worldwide dominance in an industry with
such high global demand that it is impossible to assign a value
to the size of the market.
Uncommon Value for a Company of this Caliber:
We are witnessing a breakout year in the making judging by the
frequency of recently announced sales contracts for the Biosphere,
the impressive backlog of over $100 Million in sales orders, and
the Company's very solid financial position. We view this perfectly
timed convergence of events as the catalyst for additional
contracts that will perpetuate the shattering of the Company's
own sales records. As our Top Stock Pick for April, we anticipate
the continuation of strong positive developments that will
ignite LETH shares which carry our highest rating for short-term
trading profits followed by robust long-term capital gains.

I should add that is all taken from Yahoo! Business. So maybe you should invest Alf. Altough I would say that sales going from $24.5 million to $0.1 million year on year isn't the best indicator of future success.

Yes, I have had my email for about a 7 years, and I get roughly 250-300 spam emails a day. At night when I sleep, they seem to just roll in.

Glengoyne
04-09-2004, 01:32 PM
I made the mistake of using my corporate email account on Ebay a while back. Ever since then, I have been bombarded with spam. The virus stuff we have really effective stuff in place to stop, so I usually only get a notification that an infected document addressed to me has been stopped. With regard to spam, I delete close to 150 spam(viagra, cialis, penis enlargement, porn(mostly bukake and, of late, female ejaculation sites)). Some of the women at the office are upset because things coworkers are getting email with their name listed as the sender. The emails often include graphic photos, and the women don't really want people including possibly clients getting porn with their name on the from line. The stuff isn't sent from their computer, it just lists the identifying portion of their email address as the sender.

It is becoming a real serious problem. As I am deleting 150 spam messages a day, I occasionally delete a real email. I am not sure what else we can do to stop it, but the Network Admin is working on it. The spammers have figured out ways around all of the old techniques we used to use. I think spam is going to fundamentally change the way email works, or email will cease to be a business tool.

I've been getting a few of these at work the last week, which is odd because I've never got one before.

I got one yesterday that I was actually wounded by.

It just simply said...You are a bad writer.

I was strangely offended by this one. Maybe because I was in the process of writing a report right then.
