Okay, here's a puzzler for all you computer nerds out there....

[Sparky Kronkite]

This "just now" happened......

Background - our organization has been experiencing some "e-mail difficulties." Some of the problem may be us but the train wreck/fire in Baltimore - it has been reported - has most likely taken out some "internet lines" and could possibly effect internet performance on the East Coast.

What happened?

My buddy gets an e-mail - from one address - to - one address - and it's nothing close to his address. Not even close.

It even is a bit - well - sensitive in that it's about a new job and salary etc..

They - our people in Systems - claim that a hacker is fucking around and rerouting e-mail.

What do you guys think?

I often get bizaare emails to from people in my field to people in my field that I do not know. I forward a copy back each direction. This is on aol. I think the header gets corrupted and then parity checked and error corrected to the wrong conclusion.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Wow!!!???

"corrupted and then parity checked and error corrected to the wrong conclusion."

Can you actually articulate this sentence in RL?

 

[Andra_Jenny]

RL nonsense is the easiest non-sense!

Our servers were hacked yesterday because we did not have the required patch. This articles explains a bit. I know there were quite a few websites hit by this.
