It's just so terrible! with the sub-prime mortgage market causing all
this finincial chaos and the huge leap in forclosure rates in the last
12 months or so.

So, in the past few days, I have started receiving spam whose content
and title are entirely in Chinese. I am curious if anybody else has seen
anything similar?

STATISTICS, STUDIES & SURVEYS
--Most Spam Comes from Just Six Botnets
(February 29 & March 3, 2008)
According to research from an email security vendor, six botnets are
responsible for 85 percent of all spam. Srizbi is identified as the
largest of the bot networks, responsible for sending out an estimated
39 percent of all spam. The research also found that the size of a
botnet does not correlate with its activity. For instance, the Mega-D
botnet comprises 35,000 "drones" and generates 11 percent of spam; the
Storm network has 85,000 "drones," yet generates just two percent of
spam.

I've been receiving and reporting Social Engineering Malware spams
purporting to be Hallmark E-cards for over a week, all hosted at
steadfast.net space, usually on *.ucoz.net/com/de but not only.

ucoz.de whois looks suspiciously like RBN. all ucoz domains use ns*.ucoz.net

Steadfast is not interested in SpamCop reports, and seems impervious to
Castlecop MIRT reports.

Is Steadfast.net the new Bulletproof.net?

Will post a slightly redacted sample in sightings [Email][Malware] Steadfast

THe following paragraph from
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120424066310201213.html
may help explain the floods of Obama spam and telemarketing:

As the voting in Iowa and New Hampshire approached, Mr. Davis
and thousands of other Texans took advantage of a powerful tool
available on the Obama campaign's national Web site,
MyBarackObama.com. The system, developed in-house and modeled
after an effort created in 2004 by the liberal political action
group MoveOn.org, gives campaign volunteers unsupervised access
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to names and phones numbers of potential supporters nationwide,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
which campaigns usually treat as proprietary information.

If I or my mother made cold calls to residential phone numbers on
state and federal do-not-call lists to flog my wonderfulness and
ask for a job, I'd be breaking the various telemarketing laws. It's
wrong but inevitiable that the job of politician is exempted.
