Re: Suspicious Emails

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hello Jude!

I note your technique of going to your webmail; I only tried that once and the font was so tiny I never did it again. I may have another look, though. ?The junk that I got was not just the ordinary sort, but plainly malicious and, I would guess, designed to spread malware through something weird that I could see it was carrying, hence my inability to send it myself, so that just begs the question!

If you are using Ventura, I¡¯d be interested to hear your reactions. I think I read that Apple want to make their OS and iOS more alike. I must admit to being taken by surprise by Ventura, as it looked so different. This MBPro, for example, is still on Catalina and my iMac (still waiting to hear if it can be saved) was in High Sierra. ?I suppose, really, there is not much point in a new OS if it doesn¡¯t differ much from the old one, something like the forthcoming Windows 12.
Best,
Susan

Hello stranger! :)

I¡¯m sure you¡¯re right about Action Fraud being underfunded but my worry was that these obviously potentially harmful emails got into my Inbox yet could not be sent on out again. If I get any more like that, I may ring Zen directly to find out why this happens. Their customer support is prompt and knowledgeable but I¡¯m not always good at explaining my problems. ?While setting up my new Mini, I noticed that the setup instructions when we were transferring from BTInternet were dated 1993! ?I kept it because it had our username and other details - on paper, remember that old material? :D?
Best,
Susan

Hi Susan!

I hear you :-) ?I¡¯m getting spam/phishing emails, e.g. TV License (sic) expired, ?but they¡¯re going to my Junk folder automatically. ?I¡¯m not trying to forward them to anyone.

Given that the Government¡¯s commitment to online security is sketchy at best (Action Fraud weekdays business hours only, for instance), I¡¯d be willing to bet that the phishing department is understaffed and underfunded.

Cheers

Hello (Is there anybody there¡­?)

A larger than usual number of suspicious emails has been coming my way recently. ?Usually, I can forward them to report@... but a number of them have refused to be forwarded; these look as if they are loaded with something potentially harmful. I am in contact with Zen Internet about these but had deleted them already because they ensconced themselves in an Outbox and kept popping up when I was sending email, so could not be ignored. ?Anything like this happening at your end of the table? ?What I am wondering is: how did they get through to me if I cannot forward them onwards?!

Best,
Susan
