The list has not been hacked, Sheila. Various list members have a "worm" that they received from other list members or others not on the list. The "worm" invades the address book and "steals" the addresses, then sends out spam from the person's address. Showgsd-l address is in THEIR email address book. NONE Of this goes FROM the list address and the list program does not allow that email to be posted. THAT's where it becomes a problem. People should be careful of opening attachments, always, or going to links that are questionable. I am on a Mac, so 99.9% secured from all of this, but still am very careful about attachments. Just so you know. Stormy On May 6, 2010, at 6:44 AM, sheila lieberman wrote: > Since showgsd has been hacked recently, I will not open anything > list mail that does not have a specific subject.
