Is it just me or is the incidence of 'doze trojans increasing hugely ? I
reconfigured fetchmail on my box here a while ago not to fetch anything
bigger than 100K and if I see anything skipped I'll ssh into the mail server
at my convenience to have a look. It can be be a large attachment someone
has sent me for business reasons but in the last two weeks I'm suddenly
getting lots of obvious 'doze trojans in attachments. Has the general level
of such gone up in the world or has one of my addresses just ended up
somewhere unsavoury ?
My children have been harassing me to set up email accounts for them and I
decided I wouldn't until I installed Linux on their game machine - in the
light of the level of attacks I'm seeing I think that may have been a good
idea (yeah, I know, pathetic attempt to drag this mail on topic :-) )
