Weird E-mail Message
 

When I got home yesterday I checked my home e-mail. I had a bunch of identical e-mails in my inbox. When I looked at them, they were all the same. Someone was trying to register at www.msds.com and had used my e-mail address for their confirmation. Once the e-mail was recieved, the person was supposed to click on the link to complete their registration.

Since www.MSDS.com is a legitimate website for hazardous materials, I figure someone mistyped their e-mail address (though mine is quite unique), but 6 times!

Sounds like a crawler/worm issue.

Can you explain further?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Think about it. Someone that thick is trying to handle hazmat.

It's nature weeding out the stupid again.

some automated piece of code, a "bot" that tries things with certain websites, tries to hack by brute force and what not...
even a unique email adress , will eventually be found by a bot that just runs combinations .... aaaaa aaaab aaaac aaaad ..... abaaa abaab abaac
etc etc

Well, I just deleted the e-mails. All of the had the same username and password ("mrpoopypants").

Did you follow the link and try logging in as the user?

Might be interestign to see what you find out.

mrpoopypants?!?!?!

oh, never mind. Nothing to see. Ignore that helicopter outside...it's just a news chopper.
