Misconfigured Spam Mailer Kills Hotmail Accounts | |
|
||
| Time: 12:09 EST/17:09 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Someone in China decided to send some spam to a few folks - but they misconfigured their emailer. We received this screenshot from a reader this morning. She was sent the same spam email 330 times, which put her free Hotmail account over the 2.5mb limit and was shut down automatically. The spammer plugs a "strong buy recommendation" for a company labelled CBYI, which has apparently filed to be listed on the OBTCC. The sender of the email claims to be ioitjb@katamail.com, with a reply-to address of honey9531@mail.net.cn. We do, of course, encourage angry responses from our readers. | ||

Ohwell, what do you expect for free?
I've been getting spam from this OBTCC thing. I'll receive the same message, same stock push, but from different email accounts. I started filtering in Outlook based on that OBTCC keyword in the subject. The first one I got was for some company that claimed to do pharmeceuticals. I looked them up, they are a small company in Utah. Last year their revenues were $50,000, their losses were $25 million. The company has existed for 20 years, but up until 4 years ago they were an oil company but then their well went dry so they switched to hand cream. :) Real winner, I recommend a buy! :) |

| Interesting article #5, although it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. |
