Email Wiretapping
There is a new threat to your email - email wiretapping.
The wire tapping is done by adding javascript to an email that permits the sender to receive copies of that email when it is forwarded by others. They also receive the email addresses of the recipients of the forwarded email as well as any messages attached to it.
Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape 6 Email are vulnerable to this code because they allow HTML code to be placed in email messages.
