Websense Security Labs has discovered that Google's popular web mail
service Gmail is being targeted in recent spammer tactics. Spammers in
these attacks managed to created bots that are capable of signing up and
creating random Gmail accounts for spamming purposes.

Websense believes that from the spammers' perspective, there are four
main advantages to this approach. First, signing up for an account with
Google allows access to its wide portfolio of services. Second, Google's
domains are unlikely to be blacklisted. Third, they are free to sign up.
And fourth, it may be hard to keep track of them as millions of users
worldwide are using various Google services on a regular basis.


BTW: This is most likely the same folks that are busting MSoft Hotmail
captcha also.
