spam

A day has passed, and you are still alive! All! Russian Security Newsline 05/28/2002 Spammer threatens providers 05.27.02 13:41 A person claiming to be the author of a known spammer "Advanced Mass Sender" (AMS) program by Maxim Terentyev, sends threats by email participants of the OFISP anti-spam forum, the meaning of which is promise of sending letters to many millions of addresses with advertising their companies, which, in his opinion, will lead to inevitable ending up on all sorts of black lists, and also to millions of unfiltered emails. The situation is extremely interesting; in fact, we have interpretation of the classic version of distributed ping flood in the mail attachment, and with DDoS attacks, like It is known that it is much more difficult to fight than with a banal DoS. By the way, it will be a good test to see if all these stop lists for such attacks, and a visual demonstration the pointlessness of filtering by return address. P.S. I could never be accused of being too fond of OFISP, but if the current situation cannot be resolved, putting the blackmailer in his place, the consequences will be very sad. Although, judging by the fact that the letter was sent almost a week ago, and since then nothing has happened, not it is possible that the effectiveness of the threat is somewhat exaggerated both sides :) Let's chew and see...
