Yeah.... started getting bombarded with it yesterday afternoon.
Checked my mail on this account this morning, and between 11pm
last night and 9am today I got 149 emails, of which 126 were all
variations on this theme, all with 150k attachments.
Makes me glad I run Pegasus Mail. Also makes me glad that I have
a webmail interface on my server so I can go in and clean all that
crap out while I'm here on the T1 at work so I don't waste an hour
downloading all that garbage at home on the dialup....
Somebody, somewhere, needs to die an excruciatingly painful
death....
