[outages] Crazy amts of spoofing?

[Tony Patti]

I've seen (work, family, friends) an increased amount of spoofing since
February 25.

 

The first two emails I looked at that day were sent thru email servers in UK
and France.

Subject: [outages] Crazy amts of spoofing?

 

Anyone seeing crazy amounts of spoofing that are going out to what looks
like address book entries?

 

In other words, not from your client, not from your server, but spoofing an
email address that's yours, and going to recipients that look like your
address book (e.g., grouped by last name and to people you know).

 

I don't want to point fingers, and I have no evidence of this in any way,
but it almost looks like a social network site, that may have access to
address book entries, got hit -- and someone is spoofing big time.

 

The other option would be a Mac virus hitting address book entries.

 

Anyone seeing anything this?

 

Neil
