this is not a joke - this has been circulated at my work thru internal email with the highest warning. Just thought i'd share this with you on here

IF A PERSON CALLED SIMON ASHTON ( SIMON25@HOTMAIL.CO.UK ) CONTACTS YOU THROUGH EMAIL DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE. DELETE IT BECAUSE HE IS A HACKER!!

TELL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM THEN YOU WILL GET HIM ON YOUR LIST. HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE  BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO!!!!!...
 
Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.  This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled  'Mail Server Report'

If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying:  'It is too late now, your life is no longer  beautiful.'

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC,
And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your  name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the  anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it .

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself  'life owner'.



PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

Judge just doesnt want you to open emails of this guy as he is really emailing compromising photographs of judge

Yes, a malicious mail indeed.

There are several ways to attack a server, and one of them is to crowd it with extra work.

These e-mails seek that you forward this message to all your hotmail and yahoo e-mails. As the tree of sent e-mails grow exponentially, it reaches a point in which the hotmail or messenger services go down, and there it is, goal accomplished.

Have you ever tried to log in in Messenger and it didn't work? more often than not is because people forwarded those messages.

So, whenever you receive those malicious mails warning about supposedly bad things, just ignore them.

Don't take the bait. 

It makes no harm though to post the supposed threat here to see what is it about, but more often than not, it's one of those attack attempts.

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

this is BS:

Summary of the eRumor: 
A forwarded email that warns you to avoid contact with a particular person who, the message says, is a hacker who can “figure out your id computer address. The message subject is usually “Hacker Alert” and the name of the hacker is sometime listed as Simon Ashton and at other times is listed as Christopher Butterfield.


The Truth: 
This email is not true. It’s not clear whether it’s an intentional hoax or was sent by someone who became alarmed by a received email and decided to send out a warning about it.  The bottom line is that merely receiving an email from someone doesn’t guarantee that the person is a hacker and unless there was something in the email that you were asked to do such as open an attachment or go to a web site, there isn’t much danger that anything bad will happen.

As a general safety precaution when chatting or emailing with strangers it is only common sense to apply some of the following rules:

Never divulge personal information.

Don't give anyone your passwords or log in information to any accounts.

Unless you have initiated a technical support call to a trusted person or site, never allow anyone access to your computer with programs such as Remote Desktop Connection.

When chatting online with strangers, never give out your home address, phone number or personal information.   You can generalize without giving personal information away.  If the other chatter seems to insist on your personal information change the topic or disengaged the chat.

If you allow your children to use the internet, always monitor them and set up healthy guidelines.

Some of the newer operating systems by Microsoft update your computer automatically.   If you have this feature disabled make sure you are current with important updates.

As always, when operating a computer on the internet make sure that your virus protection software is activated and up to date.

HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR THEM, AND FAST, BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO!!!!!...
PASS ON TO ALL YOUR ADDRESSES AS FAST AS YOU CAN
