Am I being hacked??????

[Rick Sample]

I've been receiving these e-mails which mean nothing to me:

Dear user rick,

You have successfully updated the password of your Muscle-mustangs account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact Muscle-mustangs customer service at: administrator@muscle-mustangs.com

Thank you for using Muscle-mustangs!

Then in the From field, it says: Administrator@Muscle-Mutangs.com

I'm not sure how they new my name either. I don't use it for my accounts, e-mail addresses, passwords, etc. Attached is a zipped file called Passwords.Zip. Which I'm sure is a virus.

Are you members of the forums? If you didn't recently change your password then something is up. E-mail the administrator to see what the problem is. Also, I would change all your passwords just to be on the safe side.

I'm actually one of the owners, but we don't have any e-mal accounts that are Administrator@muscle-Mustangs.com. A matter of fact, we don't have any e-mail accounts set up.


I'm not sure if someone actually hacked my site or if they are just pretending like they did to get me to open up the passwords.zip file to gather all my passwords.

Someone's sending you a worm or trojan. Delete the attachment.

Since it looks like you are getting mails from domains that are known by you (by your PC), you are probably already infected by some worm. These mails look to me not to be the start of a problem, but the result.

I would check your pc very good, and change all your passwords from a clean pc.

This sounds like someone has your email password (or possibly your forum password...), and they are going to the forums that you hang out at and clicking the "forgot my password" button to get your pass.

I'd just change all of my passwords on everything, and do a spyware / virus check.

(ctrl alt del - and check if there is anything strange running in your memory)

Wrong.

It is an email spam/scam happening, more than likely by a virus/worm that has infected someone's computer with his address in their address book. Several sites on the server I admin are going through the same thing. The spoofed email addies that I can remember are stuff like:

webmaster
administrator
admin
service
info
support
register

True, it can also be someone elses PC that is infected.

Yup, I get this all the time.

Yep experienced the same thing, and is it coincidence but after disabling users email function, it stopped. ???
