ALERT! Possible malware email spam

I received an e-mail from the iTunes store this morning stating that I received an iTunes gift card.
It included a zip file that opens to an .exe file. I suspect this is malware. No one I know purchased a gift card from iTunes. I have not been able to contact Apple yet. Beware.
Email;
From: iTunes Products <[email protected]>
Subject: Thank you for buying iTunes Gift Certificate!
Date: May 26, 2010 9:19:26 AM EDT
To: Edward Glasheen
Hello!
You have received an iTunes Gift Certificate in the amount of $50.00
You can find your certificate code in attachment below.
Then you need to open iTunes. Once you verify your account, $50.00 will be credited to your account, so you can start buying music, games, video right away.
iTunes Store.
Gift Certificate. zip ( 28.8 KB )

I received the same e-mail this morning and deleted it right away because file contained a zip file and was sent to a fake e-mail address that is close to my e-mail address but not the right one and definitely not the e-mail address I have registered with iTunes.
I came in this site in hopes that a would find an e-mail address where I could forward the phishing e-mail but all I could find was this discussion board.

This say I should check my apple ID before it expire in 48h. On the site "http: //sercankara .com/securiteapple/8485d396b51c9007a26c4444296fcb95/" that really look like a applesite, they ask for all details and credits card. I didn't enter the last infos, because the site wasn't secure as it should b with apple. Can anyone confirm if it is a fake email?
Thanks!

I can confirm that it's a fake. Apple will never route you to a web site on any domain other than their own for any reason, much less for any sort of access information or password change. The "sercankara.com" domain is registered to some user in Turkey and has nothing to do with Apple.

I opened an email that I later identified on hoaxbusters as depositing malware. I have malwarebytes on my laptop, but nothing similar on my iphone4 what app should I buy? If I run it, will it find or fix the possible malware?

The creeps that generate this code figured that the iPhone since is is selling so well would be a great market for them even if iOS makes it impossible for their code to do anything practical unless it is jail broken first.

Alert Mechanism Vs Email Adapter? please help!

Hi Experts,
       I have requirement where I have to send error info as email. The email has following characteristics:
1. Content is multi-line.
2. Data is dynamic.
3. Content has to be formated. Like header, footer and '---' lines as separaters.
4. Content could be more than 100 lines.
5. More than one email content may be consolidated into one.
6. Content can also be sent in HTML format.
Is email alert mechanism suitable for this requirement? if yes then How?
If all of the above can be satisfied by Alert mechanism then what is the use of Email adapter?
Are there any pros and Cons of using Alert mechanism and Email adapter?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
Please be specific in your question. Do you want to send an error info as an e-mail when your scenario causes an error or Do you want to send an error log which is generated for any other scenario as an e-mail attachment/Error logs Content as the body of a mail. Both these things are possible in SAP XI 3.0.
1.       We can send an e-mail with multi-line content using E-Mail Adapter.
2.       We can set Dynamic Data as the e-mail content.
3.       The Dynamic Content has to be formatted either in Mapping or in Module and then sent to E-mail Adapter. E-Mail Adapter cannot do the formatting.
4.       Content can be of any number of lines.
5.       The consolidation should be done in Mapping or in a Module program and the consolidated data should be given to the adapter.
6.       Yes Content can also be set in HTML format
The above said points are possible in SAP XI 3.0s email adapter. Alert Mechanisms can be used when you want to send an alert on any event occurrence. It has many limitations like the content should be within specified length etc. we cannot use alert mechanism to pick a file and post the content of the file as an Email. Alert mechanism will work only for the alert categories which you have defined.

Excessive Email Spam

I have been receiveing excessive spam email today that is not being filtered out by the verizon email spam filter. Has anyone else noticed this? The spam filter was previously working.
Ed

I have also seen a lot more SPAM the last few days than I am used to. I suspect the issue is tied to an intermittent failure of one or more of Verizon SMTP and POP servers. Both problems appeared at the same time. There is another thread on this board about Verizon email being broken.
I would hesitate to use the word broken, let's just say unreliable. The POP/SMTP servers seem to go up and down like a yo-yo, and talking to Verizon Customer Service is like talking to a brick wall. The only thing they can do is play with your computer. The possibility that it is actually a Verizon problem is beyond their comprehension.
If the www.verizon.net says it is unavailable, and my email client says it is getting a status of ' service temporarily unavailable', I seriously doubt that changing anything on my computer will have any effect, since www.verizon.net is interacting directly with the pop servers without my computer being involved in the conversation.
anyway I suspect that when they get the server issues fixed, the SPAM filter will also begin working reliably again.

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

Anti malware / anti spam / virus protection

Greetings,
With the introduce of Exchange Server 2013 along with its architecture, Microsoft has moved Transport services / roles to Mailbox Server Role. well, when it comes to anti malware / anti spam and viruses , Microsoft recommends deploying them on Mailbox Server
role, while on CAS, not necessarily be deployed as long as messages are not inspected on CAS Servers.
While some articles say the opposite, and mention configuration of Anti malware ,etc.. on CAS Servers.
What is the best practice for deploying anti malware / spam / virus Software on CAS, and what is the best recommended software for messaging and OS level protection, say Symantec for example.
Thanking you
Jamil

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, in Exchange 2013, the CAS server acts as a stateless proxy for all inbound and outbound external SMTP traffic, it does not inspect message content and does not queue any messages locally. Moreover, as you know, in Exchange 2013,
the Transport service, which runs on all Mailbox servers, is almost identical to the Hub Transport server role in previous versions of Exchange.
Thus, anti-spam agents in Exchange 2013 run on Mailbox servers. And here is a reference about enabling Anti-Spam on Mailbox Servers:

Didn't download, but got a malware email

I just got the NACHAm "Your payment has been rejected and read the .exe attachment" Zeus malware email today (it's been floating around since 2009). I don't have Windows or any window apps on my Mac, and am running 10.6.8.
As soon as I saw this I had a feeling it was suspicious and spent about an hour now reviewing various posts, comments, blogs, etc. about it.
Nothing answers my question however, which is, "if I didn't download the file or attempt to run the exe and just read the email, do i need to do anything else, run anything or check anything, or can I just delete the email (or send it to my host) and get on with my life? "
Thanks. GJ

Seeing as how it is a .exe file which can only run on Windows not to worry. Delete it and forget it.

Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

There really is no spam filter on iPad. One usually sets spam filters on the main mail server on either Mac or PC. For example, my Yahoo spam does not appear in my Yahoo mailbox on iPad. It does appear in the spam folder on Yahoo mail on my PC.

Sending Early Watch Alert Report through Email

Hi All,
For sending the Early Watch Alert Report through Email, I have completed the configuration. After adding the desired Email Address in Path Solution_manager-->goto--
> Automatic Email Transmission, do i need to create a Zjob in SCOT T-code or this is sufficient.
waiting for ur quick responses.
Regards,
Prashant.

Dear
You have to make sure your mailing of SCOT is being sent out.
Regular SCOT job for mailing is sufficient, it does not require additional one (INT option).
Kind regards

Is it possible to email outside of organization?

Hi,
Is it possible to email crystal reports (in excel spreadsheets)
to email accounts outside of the organization. I have no problem scheduling reports to internal email addresses, but everytime I schedule a report to an outside email the report fails with an error of:
address error. CrystalEnterprise.Smtp: SMTP_E_MAILBOX_UNAVAILABLE_2(550)
We are using crystal server XI release 2.
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Regards
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
I would suggest testing on the Job Server machine by using telnet to see if you can email externally from the command prompt. Below is a link of how to use mailman:
http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html
Are you able to schedule the report externally without an attachment? I would also suggest speaking to your Exchange Server administrator. There may be logs or restrictions for outgoing emails set on the mail server.
Regards,
Wallie

Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.
