More from the spam box
Now I know 9/11 changed a lot of things, but when did the CIA start spying domestically?
I've been getting mailed the W32.Sober.X@mm!zip worm for the last few days. There are a number of things that stand out here.
- Department@cia.gov?? CIA Agents apparently don't get their own mail boxes. It's a security thing. They can mail you, but you can't mail them back.
- Subject: does the CIA remove the spacebar for security reasons
- All those billions in tax dollars they recieve and they still don't know my name or even my gender
- I'm not a grammar freak, but: list ... are attached
- Isn't the body of the email awfully terse?
- Doesn't Steven Allison have a position or is that on a need to know basis
- Sure is strange to send questions in a zip file (it's actually a windows .exe)... why not include the questions inline?? Hmmm. This is why you never click on unexpected attachments from unknown senders.
