I'm pretty careful about giving out my ISP email address. It is reserved for personal correspondence and for web sites and business purposes, I always give my hotmail address. After only ever receiving one virus attempt in three or four years, twice in three days I have received email with attachments that contained the Bugbear virus. Luckily Norton caught them. The thing is, the return address at least from what I saw on the email title as it was being received were both from legitimate sites I have visited on the web. I'm wondering how my email address propagated to the sender of the viruses. When I visit a site and receive a cookie, is the cookie actually powerful enough to search and find my email address? I was thinking possibly a trojan horse but hopefully Norton would have caught that.
Any ideas? Anybody else getting the bugbear virus sent to their machines?
