Anyone else get one of the enclosed messages to their list address?
The interesting thing is that Novell's user database was compromised
(but never publicly disclosed, from what I can tell) by spammers about 2
years ago; 90% of what I've received to that address since has been
Spanish/Portuguese/Italian (I can't tell the difference) spam. Now it
seems someone has decided to sell it to legitimate-looking companies.
I'm guessing before too long I'll be getting emails to my Novell or
DynDNS addresses offering the AusNOG subscribers list for sale...
Anything we can/should do about this sort of thing?
Regards,
Paul
