I get a spam, no subject, sent to maybe half a dozen people. But it comes from someone I'm in email contact with (i.e., I've sent them an email, maybe they've sent me one). What's the malware that causes this, and what will detect it?
Well, not uncommon, over the past decade (you know that), but, with the lack of subject line, are most of these from AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or other Webmail accounts? We've seen a lot of this (do they come with URLs leading to "Canadaian Pharmacy" sites?) and I suspect it isn't malware, it's all the email account phishing that is going on. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. - Mark Twain victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
