Spam attack, mail box filled
This morning the Spam attack started up again worse than before. 3,000 spam e-mails came into my AT&T mailbox this morning. Update: The spam attack is of a planned, malicious nature, and apparently from an anti-Semitic source. For example, among the spam are “Delivery Notifications” that e-mails I’ve sent are being returned because the recipient couldn’t be found. These Delivery Notifications include the original e-mail sent from my address, and the e-mails contain anti-Semitic articles. So various people around the country are receiving anti-Semitic e-mails that seem to come from me. However, AT&T customer support (a contradiction in terms) tells me that such e-mails only appear to have been sent from my address, and that they are just spam like everything else.
Earlier, I had encouraged people to use an alternative e-mail address, but within a half hour it began receiving a lot of the spam too, though until this morning it had been receiving none. Which would seem to suggest that the party generating the malicious spam is looking at VFR, saw the alternative address I linked, and began sending spam there as well. Email entry |
