Anyone else get that charming German spam that has been going around this weekend (apparently a similar one exploded about a year ago)? I did, at both home and work. Unfortunately, the spam used my address as one of the sets fakes. This spam is from the Sober worm, a form of email virus where computers that are infected start sending off the spam. By using someone else’s email as the spoofed from address any bouncing email will just go to the spoofed email account and not the infected person. (fix the mail protocols!)

For anyone at radio station KMPS 94.1 FM, I swear it wasn’t me. I don’t even speak German. As recent conversations would suggest, my Spanish is rusty and my English is iffy. If all of it just got caught by your spam filters and you saw nothing, nevermind. But, could you play something twangy for me while you are at it?

If you’d like to see what it is about, try reading this Washington Post Article.

Also on the spam front, I am happy to say that Word Press is doing quite well. so far, all of the real comments have gone through and all of the spam ones have gone to moderation. Strangely, the vast majority of my spam is going to the same post. Wacky.
