Is anyone tracking the "Fw: New Message" joe-job spammer?
Cause if so I got about 100 examples from last night I can send you if you think they'll help. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

I have 521 messages that match: To: nanog* Subject: new message In the last week. Obviously that includes things like Jay’s message below, but still a lot more than 100. It also hit outages@, and probably other places. Of course, I’m very upset about that. After 500+ tries, they did not spoof my name once!!! Guess I’m not important enough. <pout> -- TTFN, patrick

Well, the only spoofed one poor guys email address, the body texts were an amalgamation of various names and URLs. -Jim P.
I've seen this attack on a private list I'm on as well. It wasn't clear if the subscribed address was being spoofed or if the user had an infected computer. -- Mike Conlen
