Computer Users Ignore ‘help@irs.gov’ Email Virus

by Scott Ott · No Comments

(2003-05-20) — An unnamed hacker has complained to friends that his efforts to spread an email worm virus globally were foiled due to his poor choice of a fake sender’s email address: help@irs.gov.
“He sent that thing to 10,000 people,” said an unnamed associate of the hacker. “Not a single person opened the attachment. No one could believe that the IRS would offer help. It’s almost as funny as support@microsoft.com.”
The hacker intends to try again next week with an email sent from ‘news@DNC.org’.
