Spmming By Cookie?
1 Answers
I have started to receive emails over the past few weeks which I suspect are a bit nasty... They appear in outlook to be Blank, but when you check the source, you can see an IFrame has been set, which follows up to an SRC="CID..." and followed with a load of gibberish. The height and width are set to '0', meaning I can't see it.
Now, I had heard that kiddie fiddlers were doing the height width = '0' stuff so that they could hide sick photos on their sites etc, but this gives the impression it might be accessing a cookie. I *think* Outlook is blocking them, but I want to be sure but I don't want to change email to plain text only. Any thoughts on what these might be, and what to do?

Now, if I have got a Server with a website on it, and you have a look at my website, I can see your IP address your e-mail address and a lot more but this is another story. If you recieved a lot of this mails, it could be that you've visited a webpage that automatically stores the e-mails and sends viruses or other silly stuff to users. If you want to stop this "shi"t" happening, just dissable your cookies in your browser. I write you the steps you have to follow to deactivate the cookies in your browser:
1) Tools
2)Internet Options
3)Security
4) Click on Internet
5) click on Custom Level
6) Find Cookies in the list and choose prompt or disable.
If you put promt he'll ask you everytime a site wants to acces your cookies and this might be a bit annoying with time.
