Email From Microsoft

JenC · 2003-10-17, 05:32 PM

Hmm this is weird. It actually appears to be a real email from Microsoft but I know that in the past people have attempted to pretend like the emails were from Microsoft before and attached was a virus. This looks like it's really from them.

Surely they wouldn't do that would they? It's sent from mfvtaglcattfw@updates_microsoft.com

Yeah I figured it out that the domain is actually update_microsoft.com that it's coming from.

Geez these little bastards are getting sneakier! Well I hope my post is a warning to all anyway.

I wouldn't even trust an email attachement from my mother.
