Warning: Very dangerous email.

Look at the link. i didnt look at the contents of the IP address, DONT VISIT IT JUST INCASE.

What was strange was that it appeared in my normal email box, and not my spam box, and i copy and pasted the youtube link and the video "did not exist". This is a total fake email. If you recieve it please delete it. The subject will be "HAHAHAHAHAHA, man your insane!"

This is warning, because i have reason to believe that many other people will recieve this email soon.

When I tried to open the IP address my browser(firefox) closed automatically. There must be some kind of malware in that IP.

Opera opens the page well. The page has a youtube logo and a link to download "video.exe" probably a spyware.

 

Seems like some school going kid learned how to make a Trojan Server.

Please run a virus scan. When the browser closes, it means there is something on your computer to close it.

Nopes !! It just crashed the window ... according to me Its IE 6.x Exploit. used to install misc softwares on your system ... if ur using firefox ur on safe side.

 

If your using a mac your OK. It is just a program that does bad things to your computer.

 

I am on Windows XP, so i am concerned that others with the same Operating System will get the same problem.

Just type view-source:http://72.228.243.13/ in firefox.

There's a tonne of \xdd\xdd in the source. Does that mean buffer overflow?

 

The view-source thing isn't working here because the site is not loading. Prehaps they have been shut down already?

Thanks for the heads up Robert as I did get a similar email. Not with the same IP but still.

 

Yes, I've received those, but I'm always looking out for bogus mail, so those get automatically flagged for deletion.

By the way, I use Mailwasher Pro and it catches 99% of all spam so I can delete it and even bounce it back to the sender before it even gets to my computer. It reads it directly from the server. It works great!

 

I received a similar email. The message in mine was:

Dude I know thats you, someone emailed me a link to the video. here is the link I got (link was here)

Of course I deleted right away as I knew that it wasnt right.

Never ever ever click an unknown or questionable link in an email!

 

Fortutatly, 99.99% of my spam gets into the right place. I only get a few a day in my box, compared to the 5500 i have in my spam box.
