I have not seen the NANOG email problem, but have received several tens of thousans of SPAM messages that claim to be from 'webmaster () apnic net'. The originating address in the messages is 66.218.66.70. As David pointed out, this may or may not be correct.

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. The IP address (which may or may not be accurate) appears to be [195.157.87.253]. Has anyone else noticed this recently?
