WARNING!! If you get a letter from noreply@nortonmusic.com with an attachment, don't open it. It doesn't come from me - I do not have a mailbox named "noreply" It isn't from me. It's a spoofing attack. Someone is pretending to be me. Leilani got one this morning, and that's how I know it's out there. I don't know what the attachment is, as I know better than to open it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoofing_attackMost of you already know this - so it's a heads up for the newbies. Notes

It looks like your email account has been hacked. I had the same and I only found it because I got a copy of the spoof on my other mail as it was in my contact list. Change your password and send an explanatory email to all your contacts and you're good.

Thanks. The first thing I did was change my password.
I sent out an e-mail to about 500 people, and so far nobody else got one.
I checked my gmail and att account and didn't get one there either.
And it came from "noreply@" an e-mail address I do not have and never have had. If the person really wanted someone to open it, why not my regular e-mail address?
So I suspect it was just spoofing.
But as always, better safe than sorry.

Spammers and malware spreaders can make an email appear to have come from an account or domain w/o having actually hacked the account. It happens a lot. Not much you can do about it other than what you've done. They get a list of email addies, millions are available, and then spoof the return address and send it out hoping to hit somebody that knows the person.

Thanks.
I am about 99% sure it's spoofing, and warning others is the best I can do.
Most of us know not to open unsolicited attachments from others, even our friends.
So far Leilani is the only one I know that got this, and the first thing she did was ask me if I sent her something. She deleted it.
But nobody responded to my e-mails or posts, so I figure the address was spoofed and sent out to an untold random number of people, but since only one of those were on my list, the rest went out to people who don't know me.
I hope it wasn't ransomware.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
