VIRUS WARNING - Spoofing Lighthousekeepers.com - 06/30/05 02:15 PM

I received an email this morning appearing to come from "Webmaster@LighthouseKeepers.com"

Quote:

Dear user chidester,

You have successfully updated the password of your Lighthousekeepers account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact Lighthousekeepers customer service at: webmaster@lighthousekeepers.com

Thank you for using Lighthousekeepers!

+++ Attachment: No Virus (Clean)
+++ Lighthousekeepers Antivirus - www.lighthousekeepers.com

The attachment "password.zip" has a virus. DO NOT Open the attachment. It has a Trojan Horse.

I did not send this email. In my case, Symantec Anti-Virus caught and quarantined this email.

Thanks for the warning!
We had a couple of similar emails. But Norton Internet Security is good at sorting those out!
We spend too much time on the net not to have as good a secrity setup as is possible.

I'll be careful. I hate Trojans...I've had a couple of them recently.

Thanks for the warning, I never open .zip files in e-mails unless the person verifies that they sent it to me first.
