+cliffy Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hi folks Today I opened up my overflowing e-mail box and found a strange header from a user named frenetic with the subject line "Geoquilt". His message was the following: quote:Hi there, I need an opinion from a moderator from thehttp://www.geocaching.com webiste. I love that forum, and I think I can help , I am trying to put together a little app for the users. Please give this thing a try (see attachment), and give me any feedback you can, this will greatly help me! thanks Jerry Now obviously this attachment caused me to raise an eyebrow and run a virus scan. Lo and behold it most certainly was a Trojan.logger program. Just thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention....I'll post it in the geoquilt topic as well in the event this little turd has sent it out to others involved in the project. Cheers, cliffy ----------------------------------------------------------- "Whad'ya mean you didn't save the location of the truck?..EEEK!!!..." Quote Link to comment

Ah, the joys of the information age. Take care Happy caching DD Quote Link to comment
