Possible worm email from tech member!

by boohbear . Updated 21 years, 9 months ago

I would like to inform fellow techrepublic members that I received an email from kvmsnn@yahoo.com with the subject Re: …
The only word in the body of the message was “predator”. There was an attachment which I did not open. I proceeded to forward the email to yahoo.com tech support because I was suspicious of the content of the attachment and then I deleted the email from my computer. I received a mailerdaemon response of the following “Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Worm.Bagle.AF.2 detected by ClamAV – http://www.clamav.net”. After some searching I was able to track down the email to a member on this site. I would just like to inform other members of this incident in case others receive an email from this person. Here is a link to a post from this member – https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6239-0.html?forumID=73&threadID=154063
I’m not sure if this was malicious intent or what, but I was to say the least highly agitated. Has anyone else received any email like this and are there any thoughts about this incident?
Thank you,
Theresa P.
