[pchelpers] Re: Unknown attack

 Hi Tim
 
Yes it was Cramession's newsletter which I'd subscribed and read for a couple 
of years now. It was emailed to me regularly. There was this brief  article 
that contained the link "Read more" which caused me grief!  I suppose the 
original article wasn't in Cramsession newsletter but it merely had a brief 
preview and we were supposed to be brought to the full article through the 
link. But the link didn't work the way it was supposed to and instead I saw 
something being installed on my machine and nothing else except the icon of my 
Word Viewer turned black and Lotus WordPro died, my browser windows became 
disfigured. The chat window I had on just turned blank, except for the 
navigation bar. This is the window where I monitor the students' classrooms for 
live instant mentoring. I tried going to hotmail and there was this deformed 
field where one fills in the userID and password. Same with yahoo. Nothing 
worked although I still had my Internet connection intact. 
I can't find this newsletter in my mailbox anymore. I must have deleted it and 
yahoo has done its garbage collection this week as I can't find anything in my 
trash can either. I'll try to see if this newsletter is still on Cramsession's 
website. If I find it I'll send it over to you for analysis at your own risks!

Hi Tonia,

I haven't followed this thread too well so forgive me if I lack details. I read 
your original post where you stated you were reading an article on cramsession. 
I tried to find the article you metioned because I wanted to investigate this 
further. I was hoping to get exactly where you were so I could download this 
"thing."

I was able to search Google for Troytech vs. Google and came up with other 
sites that had the story, but not Cramsession. Are you sure it's Cramsession?

Also, I don't suppose you remember the filename/save location do you? If you 
find it, you can send it to me; no, I won't hold you accountable for anything 
that happens =)

Happy Holidays!

Tim Hamel
