"New Graphic Site" is a worm!

"New Graphic Site" is a worm!

2006-06-14 by Larry Troth

Hi all

Please be aware that the recent spate of spam is actually the result of a
security hole in Yahoo Mail.  So most likely anyone you may have banned was
NOT responsible.

Further info can be found in "The Register" article at:

Thanks, Larry, for that info & link. That's what I had kind of 
suspected when I looked at the source code of these e-mails. 
(I don't really understand that much "Javanese" but the script 
commands looked fairly suggestive.)

Thanks, that solves the riddle. 

:^) Greg
