justbishop Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I got an email today from jessie@justbishop.com , but I never set this addy up, and it's not listed anywhere on my Cpanel! It's got 3 attachments on it (which of course I didn't open =P) and I'm sure it's something not good, but i'm scared that my hosting account could have been hacked or something! Anyone know what could be going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I'ts really easy to fake a from address. You could check the headers to see whats going on, and try reporting them to their ISP; but I'm not sure how far you would get. As far as being hacked, you probably were not. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatfolios sysop Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Same thing happened to me, not much you can do except let everyone know on your email list that you will never send attachments with out notice, and to ignore/delete anything that isn't from you....

justbishop Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thanks guys. I looked at the header info, and it says that the return path was lafawiblu@rasmusfani.zzn.com. That would be where it was sent from, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Possibly, the return path can be easily spoofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
