Virus arrives in e-mail allegedly sent by FBI

The FBI is warning the public about malicious e-mails designed to appear as if they were generated by the law enforcement agency.

In a statement released late Tuesday, the FBI detailed the threat, which attempts to lure e-mail users into opening an attachment containing a computer virus.

The mail is disguised as correspondence warning people that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center and that they have "accessed illegal Web sites." The e-mails then direct recipients to open the virus-laden attachment to answer a series of questions.

The FBI said it is currently investigating the origin of the malicious e-mail and indicated that it would never send unsolicited messages to the public. The agency further warned people against opening any e-mail attachment sent to them from an unknown sender.

Spoofing, or the practice of sending unsolicited e-mail meant to appear as if it were generated by a reliable or known source, is a problem that continues to plague everyone from the world's largest financial services companies to government agencies to individual e-mail users. The issue has gained renewed attention as the number of spoofing campaigns linked to identity theft scams--also known as phishing attacks--has increased significantly in recent years.

The FBI has been dealing other tech-related problems recently. Earlier this month, in an audit of the agency's computing infrastructure, Justice Department officials said that the FBI has failed to adequately address problems identified after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Much of the criticism centered on the FBI's inability to install its Virtual Case File system, software meant to improve the manner in which FBI workers share information.

Mike Greenwell wants his MVP


http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1993112

"Where's my MVP?" Greenwell told the Fort Myers News-Press. "[Canseco's] an admitted steroid user. I was clean. If they're going to start putting asterisks by things, let's put one by the MVP."

"I do have a problem with losing the MVP to an admitted steroids user,"


Most importantly though Gorden Edes, a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America and a reporter for the Boston Globe, told the newspaper he does not foresee the organization stripping admitted steroid users of their awards.

"That's inconceivable to me," Edes told the News-Press. "Like it or not, steroids were not a banned substance at that time in Major League Baseball. That would be like rewriting the rulebook after something happened. But I do think it could impact judgment when it comes down to Hall of Fame voting."

Thats right, it wasn't banned. Thus the stats stand. you can't retroactivate something like this. Sorry Gator.

I have to go on record about steriods


I just want to say steriods were NOT ILLEGAL in major league baseball until 2 years ago. That said, noones records or stats should be taken away, because of steriod suspicion, or even proof that they DID use during this time period. Just because you think its unfair, or wrong does not make it against the rules. Should we take back David Wells' perfect game because he claimed to have been drunk? This is all bogus.

Shame on the players who felt they needed the extra advantage. I think time will punish them enough with their health problems. MLB and the fans have no right to punish the players that WE put pressure on to perform. If we want to blame anyone, blame ourselves.

Pats win again!


http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs04/columns/story?columnist=garber_greg&id=1985758

Pats are still the Super Bowl Champs. Reports are that Romeo Crennel is accepting the Cleveland Browns head coaching job.


Shhhhh! Don't say the Dynasty word.
"You guys all want me to say it," Brady said, smiling, "but I'm not going to say it."

They didn't cover, but they won again. When will they ever stop winning?
