I received a really nasty trojan this week-end. It is a mail notifying me that my e-mail domain is disabled due to illegal access, and there is a hyperlink I should click to clear things up.

A couple of things looked strange:

1) My mail provider is the Danish PTT, but the mail was in (not flawless) English.

2) I have full path turned on always, and the mail originated from a yahoo domain.

3) The mail.dk is a whopping big domain, I think I should have heard about it being disabled.

Of course, a quick testmail to myself (from another domain) showed that the mail.dk was very much operative, and the strange e-mail went south.

Still, it shows that you simply cannot be too careful and suspicious these days :rolleyes:

These are in the U.S. too. Two people in my office have received e-mails last week just as you described and the message in this case claimed that http://pa.us is the domain in question.
