ReplaceCancel DomainKeys is yet another way Yahoo! brings untold misery and grief to email forgers everywhere. Without boring you with too many details, it's an Internet standard developed in large part at Yahoo! that lets us confirm whether emails are really from their claimed domain.

It's always a good idea, however, to double-check and make sure a message is really from who it claims to be (for example, an email from Yahoo! should be from "...@yahoo.com" and not from a spoof domain like "...@y9ho00oo.com").

If you're a postmaster interested in implementing DomainKeys to protect your domain, you can find more technical details at http://antispam.yahoo.com/ and implementation information at http://domainkeys.sourceforge.net.


Recieved from Attorney/Friend 3/31/09
In an event that hits the computer world only once every few years,
security experts are racing against time to mitigate the impact of a bit
of malware which is set to wreak havoc on a hard-coded date. As is often
the case, that date is April 1.

Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and
the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging
attacks we've seen in years.

Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in
January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third
variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated,
powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it
will do when D-Day arrives.

Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the
writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are
aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a
cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that
on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a
master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point
anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service
attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply
manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons
designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.

Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an
enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of
Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers
and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the
ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which
simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.

At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC:
Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your
anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is
actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.

Microsoft also offers a free online safety scan, which should be able to
detect all Conficker versions.

Anybody know how to track IP addresses to the location of a computer?
I think it is time to start developing strategys to identify some of the senders of these emails.
Tell you what...If we find one in my home town of Savannah, You will see him on UTube.

Hi Louis,

Hope all is well!

I received your message about tracking IP addresses. Here is a site that spells it out:

http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress

Just one more thing, I found this site:

http://www.hide-the-ip.com/2-hide-my-ip.shtml

I learned at that site that anyone can hide their IP address. Now, if I found it so easily, I'm sure others have also (spammers included). Now, if we track an IP address, we would have to implement some measures to ensure we are tracking the correct IP address. Just some food for thought.

Glad to see "Stop Internet Scammers" is alive again!
