LinkedIn September attack one of largest targetted spamfests ever
29.10.10
At the time, because LinkedIn alerts members when other members request to join their online business friends group, users were innocently clicking on the links in their LinkedIn messages, and becoming infected.
Kaspersky Lab says that the link to the 'private messages' either led to automatically generated second-level domains in the .info zone or to hacked domains in the .com zone – in the latter case the links ended in 1.html.
Delving into the monthly report reveals there was a significant reduction in the ZeuS detections by mail anti-virus programs in the UK and US following the arrests of gang members accused of using ZeuS to steal $70 million over the last eighteen months.
The criminals, says Kaspersky, had laundered the money using fake credit cards with credentials they had acquired with the help of ZeuS.
The other big event in September was the imminent closure of the vast criminal partner program SpamIt, notorious for its commitment to the Canadian Pharmacy Viagra brand.

Help needed! (G-Mail account)?
Jul 26, 2008 by pulkit s | Posted in Security
Hi,
Recently I've been getting a lot of spammy and junk e-mails on my G-Mail account which also happens to be my default e-mail provider, I have tried creating several filters & marking them as spam. Nothing works.
Now the details:
The messages are totally pointless for a student like me..
"Buy Viagra online to boost your sexual life"
"Low Cost Canadian Pharmacy"
"Soft-Cialis to boost your sex life"
and so on..
The e-mail sender differs in every e-mail.
fpsapkdfd[fa@hotmail.com
dhfpspdggs@yahoo.com
egpsgp[gg@gmail.com
from
xepjdmeffmefjffmfpejf.blogspot.com
w[pjpvsnsfjanfaffoda.blogspot.com
I am really getting SICK of these messages and they can deal a blow to the "trust" I have in my relationships (if they read it >.>)
So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks for the fast replies.
First off, I have this e-mail given out at too many places and I probably think someone has leaked it. So yea..my fault..
Second, I don't think I can switch again for the same reason mentioned above.
Third, yes, I do understand marking them as spam is the only way but I tried filtering them, like Google gives me an option to block e-mails with the word 'Viagra' in it and it still finds it way through..
There's really nothing much you can do about these spam emails.
If you open these emails up, you may notice a "unsubscribe" button. Sometimes these work, but most of the times replying to unsubscribe will just let those spammers know that there is someone on the receiving end! Most often than not, the spam emails you increase.
Since the email sender differs everytime, there is no way you can block them too.
Simply mark them as spam everytime for a few weeks at least, this will train Google's spam recognition.
I suggest you stop posting your email address on the internet publicly if you are, because spam bots are everywhere to harbest them. Also, you may wish to set up different accounts for different purposes.
I don't think anyone will misunderstand, as EVERYONE get these spam mails at one point or another.

And everyone can tell you to unsubscribe to them or don't give out your email...but I never gave out my email and yet got several spam. And you can't unsubscribe because there' just too many of them, it would take days. I would just switch accounts if I were you. Transfer your addresses and info.

Kin ONEm and Kin TWOm back at Verizon
(While the $9.99 option is advertised, the cheapest data plan we're presently able to add is the $15 a month 150MB option), plus there's a $35 activation fee. Compared to the original pricing, which had the One asking for $50 in upfront costs and $70 as the minimum levy for voice plus data, we'd say this is a definite move in the right direction. A few months late, but better late than never, eh?
