I received an odd e-mail message with nothing more than a *.pif attachment
from dkoudys@*somethingiforget*.ca.  The message (which I deleted from the
server before grabbing my mail down) was sent to the e-mail address I used
*only* on the Super Chief Registry page.

Anyone else receive something similar?

Eeep!!

I have no idea how this virus has my name on it!

It infected someone that has you in their address book. That's my guess.

Could this have crawled the SC Registry page for the addresses?  That is the
only page that has both e-mail addresses used in the message.

(...) Lar's guess might be right, but more likely someone who visited the SC Registry has it cached in their browser, and the virus crawled that. Many of the newer worms will crawl through cached pages and grab anything with the foo@bar format. (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jun-02, to lugnet.general)
