Hi,
in the last two days I received two emails with faked addresses that
claimed to be sent via sane-devel (but in fact were not). Both emails
contained a .pif file which, I assume, contains a virus. DO NOT OPEN
THIS FILE.
The sender names were taken from SANE-Devel (Martin Kho, Henning
Meyer-Geinitz). The email address of the sender, however, was faked
(see attached mail below). To make the mail look more authentic it
also gives a small quote from an previous email to sane-devel.
I don't think such mails can be prevented, but, as always, you should
take extra care when opening attachements, even from people you
recognize from the mailing list.
