RE: Spam and getting authentication challenged in outlook

This sounds like an embedded image or link to a remote URL where the 
permissions are set incorrectly. Kind of like trying to hit a website that is 
password protected, these images or http code embedded in the spam are stored 
on a website that isn't configured correctly for the intended purpose.
 
If it were me, I would caution my users NOT to enter any usernames or passwords 
into these remote auth boxes, as they could be sniffed or logged and then used 
by whomever for whatever, if you catch my drift.

I saw one incident of that a couple of days ago for the first time. The 
username that came up in the box was a very odd one (definitely not in our 
domain).

Hello,
 
Has anyone seen where people with full access to the internet getting 
challenged in Outlook when looking at SPAM.  The same user has not problem 
going to any website VIA IE.  Another odd thing is when they get challenged, 
the user name that pops up not their own.  In fact it can not be found in our 
domain.
 
Thanks.
 
Dan
