joe jobbing a government?

[Gadi Evron <ge () linuxbox org>]

Hi guys. You'll get a kick out of this one.

I have known joe jobs in my life, and other than the annoyance of 
dealing with them.. they don't really excite me anymore.

Most exciting thing these past few years was when someone took my PGP 
signature from an email to Full-Disclosure (yes, I still bump against 
kiddies over there once in a while), and spammed using it... it caused 
many anti-spam solutions to re-evaluate how they deal with PGP 
signatures (for good or bad).

And still.. yesterday, I had fun!

Someone took this simplistic technique, and joe-jobbed my work-place.

He wasn't very smart about it, it took us about 3 seconds to find 5 
different indications that the received line was a fake.

But still.. being one of the most attacked sites in the world, and 
seeing so many attacks every day and weird activity every second, you 
have to admit that joe jobbing a government takes a little more finesse 
from the attacker.. even though it's pretty much useless and a waste of 
his, her or it's resources.

Out of pure interest, I wonder if one could pay spamcop, commtouch or 
messagelabs to see how many people attempt to joe job them? Only 
wondering, not really meaning to pay anyone... any suggestions on 
alternatives, though?

        Gadi.
