Law enforcement is now intercepting text messages,
as proven by Operation Sudden Fall in San Diego.

Don't let your personal SMS/text messages fall into
the wrong hands. Encrypt your messages with one
of these:

http://www.CryptoSMS.org
http://www.CryptoSMS.com
http://www.FortressMail.net/fortress_sms.htm
http://www.Cop2p.com/encrypted_sms.html

Be Safe, Be Encrypted, Fuck the Police!!

Anyone knows what this spam is about? Hit almost all news groups I read.

I downloaded some of the files at the web page. Some were *.jar and did a
virus scan on http://www.virustotal.com but none seemed to be infected.

Is this just an idiot who wants to post his opinion?

Encryption is as useless for keeping your words away from the narcs
when you broadcast your words as authentication of strangers is for
filtering spam.

SAN DIEGO (AP) Dozens of San Diego State University students were
arrested and six fraternities were suspended after a sweeping drug
investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs
and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities
said Tuesday.

I wonder if that "mass text message" was spam.

2 theories:

1. One of the 4 links leads to someone who paid for the spam to be done.

2. There seem to be multiple pieces of software calling themselves
"CryptoSMS" and there has been some rather heated discussion of them in
recent years in sci.crypt, which unfortunately has a significant
kook/UPA contingent. This could easily be the latest bit of acting up
just to get noticed from someone who is tired of being ignored in
sci.crypt.

That too. It's a reference to a large drug bust in California where
the drug dealers used text messages to contact each other and buyers.
Using a warrant the police accessed the felons text messages and used
them as evidence in the case. It was completely legal, not random and
certainly not an invasion of everyones privacy as the idiot spammer
insinuates. I guess the lesson here is if you are using SMS on your
cell phone in your business of dealing illegal drugs, then yes, you
should encrypt everything.

I let test two jar files there I found on two of the pages.
