I don’t think I need to remind every one about what happened around the turn of the century when several email virus campaigns buried U.S. and foreign companies. Some were so strong they required a complete shut down of email servers in both civilian and government agencies. One look at the email turned your machine into a massive spamming system sending that email off to all your recipients, and contacts. That may start again, I have recently discovered a backdoor into Microsoft’s email services that can not be shut down without a major over haul of the software and operating systems. This back door can give spammers the ability to send email as you, through your email service provider. It can give hackers the ability to infect millions of machines in a few hours, creating a bot-net or spamming system large enough to totally destroy what’s left of internet email as we see it today. This source code in the hands of one individual bent on revenge could do a lot of destruction. I have put together a small application demonstrating the exploit that you may download and experiment with. The program will send two emails one to spam1[at] alladds.com and the other to spam2 [at] alladds.com. Since I have started this article I have found a way to send email through hotmail services as well.
