IP: Samsung and POSSIBLE alleged SPAM

[David Farber <farber () cis upenn edu>]

Please note that Samsung claims the span they are accused of was a forged
message. Reading the notes of Wong referenced below leaves a bit of
confusion as to the real truth. What ever happened the following seems true
to me:


1. if it was a forgery, then it is yet another example of the dangers of
poor email security and authentication. 


if it was not


1. corporations should be hung (their lawyers at least).


More  letter, do look at the references web site

Hello,


I wanted to tell everyone about Samsung's spam
and my experience with it. I put a web page up
about the wholte thing.  Samsung sent a spam,
then denied it, then hired a lawyer to intimidate
the complainers! This could be the start of a
classic comedy:
