Email promoting infecting computers for profit

Hi,

I received the following email:

"IframeMONEY.biz is traffic converting program was organized in 2003.
Always only fresh exploits, best anti AV modules, our loader and all
other exe files not detected by ANY antivirus program! You simply add
our iframe code to your sites, and we pay you from 80 usd and
up to 500 usd per 1000 trojaned computers. Realtime statistics,
weekly payouts! Read more on our site."

I forwarded it to McAfee, but I couldn't figure out how to send it to Norton. It's a pretty sad way to make a living. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Dean

Wow...thats a shame..but I'm not surprised...how do you think most spyware/malware/viruses get out there anyway?

As far as sending that to Norton...I dunno...if I have time I'll check, I've been busy lately (I know big surprise right?), but that is definitely something that needs to be reported...

you may want to forward that to spam@uce.gov. that email is illegal as all hell. make sure you include the full headers of the email as well. :cheeze:

and I can guess this crap originated from China, Russia or UK, or more like relayed through their networks. a sure sign it's fraud because they're hiding behind other networks.

I often wonder, what is the exact point of randomly infecting computers? Is it purely for the shock value? Is it for the thrill? Of course, the obvious of trying to steal personal information, but I mean, really, what is the point of infecting little old me's computer at home? Just to Fuck with me??

it's done out of pure hate and misery. now they're selling the evil skills to others who are equally as miserable. some do it to steal data, but mostly to make others miserable.

but Windows is a neverending trap for viruses. and I say all mail should be raw text received first and then give user option to view in html or regular format once they recognize what it is and who it's from.

all my mail shows up as ascii text so all the evil stuff pops out and is harmless, not to mention perfect format to forward to feds to investigate because all the source code is there.
