DesDownunder Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I found that my ISP had intercepted 338 spam emails on my account. Whilst none of them got though to my computer, I did some investigation and turned up the following article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-193396/Millions-hit-virus.html Quote Link to comment
Nick Deverill Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I have a policy of giving organisations that insist on an email address, a unique address. That way, I can determine if the email has been ripped of from somebody else. So far, Adobe are as guilty as hell since over 50% of my spam is sent to adobe@my domain. Quote Link to comment
The Pecman Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Adobe is an evil company. I particularly hate their updaters, which run outside the normal operating system. Quote Link to comment
Jeff Ellis Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Nick's suggestion is good. I too have done this for some years. It also allows you to create filters to catch a lot of the rubbish that still finds its way through to your inbox... once you know adobe@blah.com is going to be a waste of space then you can filter it straight to the spam folder even if your ISP's filter didn't catch it. I recently had three trojans caught by my Kaspersky. All three were apparently associated with the adobe update system Quote Link to comment
