German E-Mail

Expand Post »
Location: Counsilor Office
OS: Win98

The counsilor has been getting a few e-mails, all in German. She does not know anyone who would send her e-mails like this.

Does anyone know if this is connected to some kind of Mass Mailer Worm, or something like that?

(I ask because we got a German e-mail from someone in the inter-school mail, and she can't speak, nor spell for that matter, if German)

Re: German E-Mail

NEVER open emails from an unknown source! The emails could be benign mass-mailings, mistakes, or viruses.

It isn't worth finding out which if you know they're not intended for you. If your mail program allows spam/bulk mail filtering, use that function. If not, delete the files immediately upon receipt.

Considering the fact that some of the emails have already been opened/read, you should do a thorough virus scan on all machines on your network as soon as possible.
