[Tango-L] Hey

[Dave Schmitz]

When I checked a couple hours ago,
msnbc-news6<dot>com was registered in the Ukraine with Russian connections and a bogus NYC address including a non-existent zipcode.  The phone number is supposed to be in Plymouth, MI; it was probably randomly chosen.  Note the "Creation Date" of the domain name is same as for the email.

Yes, it is probably very dangerous to the health of your computer!  And good luck to Nancy; her email account may have been broken into.

Here are the lookup results for msnbc-news6<dot>com, using http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search to look it up:
