I Just received this. I would like to check if others have received it and did it indeed come through nanog mailist:
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 21:10:38 +0000 From: Deep Throat <deepthroat20004 () hotmail com> To: schroebel6 () aol com Subject: Spamhaus Exposed Disturbing information on one of the founders of Spamhaus.org http://www.geocities.com/jackjack9872004/
_______________________________________________________________________ And while the website was unavailable and the sender is being anonymous (whichis against nanog list policies if this was sent through it), what I do find worse is that they managed to do it so that nanog () merit edu is not added to "CC" (which if I understood is always supposed to happen when something through this mail list, which makes me think it might have come through merit mail machine but not actually though mail list). What I find even more disturbing is that ip address listed as origin (which may well have been forged if they managed to gain some highier level access to merit servers) is that of US Military. Below is the header for your review. I do however find it slightly more likely that its some kind of sophisticated joe-job on spamhaus and that info is forged but they may have used some bug on merit mail software.
