New Email Virus of the Month
About every month or so, I get spammed with mail from the latest email virus running around the net. Along with the attachment, which I didn’t open, it had a wonderful little note that went with it. Perhaps this virus has a little AI in it because it feels embarrassed about its spelling and grammer and it apologizes for it.
“Hello,
Sorry, sorry sorry, because,, my English is not the best!
ok, I’ve got an email with an Excel-Table. But I am not the recipient, the recipient are you!
I think, it’s an mail error!
OK, here is your table back!”
I can see the virus writer thinking, “Hmm…. the last virus I wrote wasn’t as effective because people are starting to get suspicious when they get email with bad spelling and grammer with an attachment. Perhaps I should get smarter about that.” Perhaps the virus writer should just spend 5 minutes learning better grammer or at least run it through a spelling and grammer check program.
When I instant messaged a buddy of mine to share, this is how it went:
Ch*r S*t (10:42 AM) - oh wow… that’s classic
Ch*r S*t (10:42 AM) - All your spreadsheet are belong to you
Saccia (10:42 AM) - LOL

Umm… You meant “grammar,” right? I only bring it up because you were railing on some poor virus writer’s lack of writing skills (and apparently 1337 coding skillz).
