John in Andalucia Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Me too, thought it may be a Spammer??? I daren't click on the link in case it unleashes all hell on my PC!!! Rgds Andy. I did click on the link and got a pop up security message about the page lacking a "digital signature", so I didn't continue. The page was trying to load a Java applet which presumably was the game. I think it's spam more than a virus threat, but It's worrying that someone is sending these emails via PalmTalk. Here is some header information from the email: Received: from [209.216.205.242] (port=42215 helo=admin.palmtalk.org) by serv01.siteground153.com with esmtps (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from <d.ouer@mac.com>) id 1MxfU0-0006lz-F4 for info@princeofpalms.com; Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:24:04 -0500 Received: (qmail 32710 invoked by uid 48); 13 Oct 2009 01:14:18 -1000 Message-ID: <20091013111418.32706.qmail@admin.palmtalk.org> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Tyrone The email I got came from the IP address: 209.216.205.242 which is PalmTalk - and to match up our user names and email addresses too, means that the database may well have been hacked - or at least someone's account. It's a little concerning that Dean hasn't confirmed any of this yet. I've never received any spam at my business email address until now. I never imagined that registering it with PalmTalk would be anything less than secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgl Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 John, I don't even think Dean got to his cornflakes yet. He's usually up late at night and may wake up late. It's not even 7 a.m. here, so it could be a little while before he checks in. Interestingly, I did not receive this, but my wife (who is also a Forum member) did receive it.

LJG Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 To all the arm-chair admins , there is no cracking of your data or credit cards. This looks like an exploit script that is taking advantage of some function (probably php exploit) within the Invasion Board software. When you see "PalmTalk Statistics" or "How to unsubscribe" in the email, that tells me this is the case. Seeing your username seals it. For those that put email addresses online that don't want Spam, simply never use the one you want for work online. Use aliases so they can be deleted if sold or harvested. Example if you have "joe@job.com", set up 'palmtalk@job.com". If you get mail to 'palmtalk@job.com" from a spammer, you know your address is now in the spam DBs. Then deleted that alias and change to "'palmtalk1@job.com" for example. Better yet, set up an email address that only works through challenge and response. www.spamarrest.com is what I use for my address I submit when ordering online or placing into forums (which are notorious for exploits). The only way you would have gotten this email is if a human accepted your challenge. Spammers do not, so this mail would be dumped after a few days without your knowledge.
