Ah... So the list is working :-) I'll have to update the signup
instructions... I can check that off the list.



Today, starting at about 0100 E, the blackhats really took it up a
notch. I know because I was on duty making rules at the time.

One of the things I saw a lot of were new phishing attacks - all
varieties and variants.

I know the team has been pushing hard on these, but some are bound to
get through on the first few passes.

Another thing we've noticed in the grand scheme is that localized
phishing attacks are becoming more common. These are less likely to
hit our spamtraps since the target lists used are highly regional --
so if we don't have a spamtrap in that geography our view of the spam
may be delayed. We're working on this problem on a number of fronts..
Ideas, as always, are welcome.

Certainly, submitting samples to spam@ (or preferably your local spam
submission point polled by our bots) will put these messages in front
of us if we have not already created rules for them.

Here is what the latest wave has looked like from here (attached
image).

You can see, starting about 24 hours ago a jagged, but fairly regular
climbing series of spikes. Each is a new wave of variants on the
current campaigns. Most notably, the "the medications" drug spam,
chatty drugs, russian porn, phishing (especially localized versions),
and stuff-for-free* surveys.

Of course a variety of the usual players is well mixed in.

During the previous 24 hours things were _relatively_ quiet.

I've just manually submitted the ~35 messages that my filters triggered
on for phishing that didn't trigger Message Sniffer today but ended up
in my HOLD folder anyway due to their total spamminess.

Most of them are against eBay and came from Germany.
