Not only has an especially lethal email virus been circulating recently, that erases your hard drive, it now appears someone has packaged the virus code in an email targeted at the UBBDev community.
If you receive a message from "ludwigd" or "
[email protected]" with the subject "section as well."
DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. The email contains an attachment called "CDCACHE.EXE" (of size 651.kb) that will activate the virus if run.
The badly-written email message makes it appear that the file is an update for the popular
Multihack mod-installation system. We at UBBDev will be working very closely with author Troy Jones (
troy@multihack.com ) to prevent this from happening again.
In the mean time, please treat any impersonal or mass emails regarding UBB™ that do not come from infopop.com ubbdev.com or multihack.com with suspicion.
