Re: Bombarded by German political spam

I think the connection is that the infected machines are sending out this political spam and not that they are sending the actual virus.   Adam >>> "Chr. von Stuckrad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/15/2005 12:19:39 >>> On Sun, May 15, 2005 at 10:59:12AM -0500, Steven Stern wrote: > I received about 500 on the webmaster account. > > Now we know what "sober" was all about. I see *no* connection to any Virus or Trojan! I got about 200 of them into a few accounts and seemingly I'm receiving more every few minutes. BUT I do *not* think it is more than 'Propaganda'! It mostly is just one URL of a genuine Article of a german Newspaper (only the 'collection' of Articles and tendency of subject making it 'political'). No attachments seem to be sent and our Mail-filter would have 'eaten' anyway all the current Sober-Viruses/Variants.
