Farelf Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Another utf-7 thing. Emailed submission, one of an otherwise "routine" batch (Win XP Pro SP3, Outlook 2003, inside work LAN with MS Windows Server 2003, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, iinet.net.au provider) http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z2066380682zc...c171c846e7b441z Same spam, copy and paste http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z2066374569zf...e18b9e5753e030z Only one ever seen/noticed at this address (reporting level ~7-8 a day for three months), not seen at all at home address (many reports). I suspect 77.225.73.233 may be "under-reported" if others are encountering the same, particularly considering those using quick reports. Or it might just be "me" - in which case one in every 650 or so doesn't warrant any further expenditure of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelf Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Then there's this (in terms of possible "reasons"): Microsoft Internet Explorer UTF-7 HTTP Response Handling Weakness Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a weakness that can facilitate cross-site scripting attacks. The issue occurs because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input when handling UTF-7 charset data received in HTTP responses.and Microsoft Internet Explorer UTF-7 HTTP Response Handling WeaknessAttackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to follow a malicious URI.Well, the URI/URL string in my example looks fearsome but whether malicious or not, I would not know (not anything for an innocent such as I to play with in any event).
