Title: Message
business transaction list had one (three actually)
supposedly from me.
It might not be an infected machine that is the source
- since a chair can always send to the list, extracting chair + list information
from oasis website and then sending masquerading messages from all chairs would
be effective. OASIS could presumably see the original
headers.

Max is in Australia. He is on the CIQ team
as well as I believe Registry
and ebMS.
As you note - probably his address in someone
elses address book.
Thanks, DW

We just had one sent "from" a member (Max Voskub). It is a known virus,
with the message body ending in "Test, yep". You can only get infected by
executing one of the attachments. I think this one fakes the origin by
taking an address from your address book, so the one in your name probably
came from someone who has your name in their address book.

Chairs-
Has anyone
else had forged email with a virus attachment sent to your email list over
the last 24 hours?
I don't
believe the email to the XRI list purportedly from me was actually sent
from my machine since I believe my machine was off at the time the email
was apparently sent. Also, there is no evidence that anybody else in my
address book received such an email.
Just trying to
nail this down. Thanks.
