October 2003

The following unsolicited bulk emails were sent to our various email accounts this month. For reasons of privacy, information pertaining to our email addresses, user names or local machines has been deleted from the Header portions of each message.

Note that this is a listing of spam received by us, not sent by us. We do not send unsolicited bulk email but spammers routinely forge our domain name in the From: line of their junk.

Complaints

We also complained to United Airlines. The address to which the unsolicited bulk email was sent was known only to United Airlines and was intended for their sole use. How did it end up in the clutches of someone advertising pirated versions of a well-known computer anti-virus program? In the incredibly unlikely event that "packet sniffers" have been grabbing email addresses out of the ether (the inventive excuse that United Airlines has come up with), then these sniffers have been very busy indeed.

Complaints

We also alerted Barclays Bank since the advertised web site was set up by a "phisher;" that is, a third party who mimics a bonafide web site in order to gather personal details (such as bank account or credit card numbers) from unsuspecting recipients who then find themselves the victims of financial fraud.
