From: Chris Todd <ctodd () westernnews com> Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2003 09:32:30 -0700 Good morning: I was wondering if anyone has seen this message on a win2k server before and might be able to help me
Chris: This is the new spam technique using the windows "admin" pop-up vector. Supposed to be used by an Admin to send messages of some import to all their users on a particular server. That the popup showed up means you have some patching to do as well as some (3 - I think) ports to block on your firewall. See the NANOG archives for more details. Regards, Gregory Hicks
