Spam may be off topic but in this case relevant. Has anyone else noticed bounced emails that appear to have origionated from their nanog email boxes and contain viruses?
Obviously some bot has gone threw the nanog list and is now forging headers such that they appear to come from those addresses, and they are attaching viruses.
not nanog nor sobig but i have recently been receiving emails with viruses to some very obscure and old email addresses of mine, almost certainly harvested from some equally obscure old site i have quite worrying, my impression was that someone was deliberately spamming viruses out..
The IP address (which may or may not be accurate) appears to be [195.157.87.253].
Has anyone else noticed this recently?
