STUPID ME!

[percival]

I fell for the scam e-mail that asked users to execute an attachment b/c my account had purportedly been the source of spam. It came from administration @ livejournal DOT com

*agh*

::consoles::

I'm not opening *any* unexpected attachments from anyone these days.

Oddly enough, my Yahoo account has received some suspicious spam, claiming to be from the .co.uk 'team', and telling me how to forward me email for the next two days to a new address.

I don't trust it (fortunately, I have *two* yahoo aliases, and since the spam only arrived in one a/c, I'm pretty sure it's not genuine).

Anything I can do now?

[tefkas.livejournal.com]

Sorry, perceval, I have *no* idea... don't know what the attachment might have done, or anything...

It might be worth browsing the front page and LJ news.

And I suspect that changing your LJ Password wouldn't hurt, either...

[perceval.livejournal.com]

OK. I've already changed the address that the LJ mail gets forwarded to.

I came *this* close to falling for that.

I received that one as well (staff@yahoo-dot-com), and deleted it, as it looked suspicious.

Spammers SUX. :(

Your idea of cyberpenance is... interesting. :)

Have you seen any side-effects yet?
