[X] My Assistant

[jaredGalen]

I've been subscribed to the cassini newsletter for years at this stage but this morning I got about 30 spam emails all seemingly having been sent out to the Cassini mailing list.

I've emailed the web team but I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything unusual coming in?

It seems that maybe their mailing list info has been compromised. If anyone knows someone who could find out or anything it would be great. I got all these spam straight into my gmail inbox. I never get spam into my inbox so this is exceptional.

The email header has this stuff in it.

"Astronautics" on Twitter seems to have been affected as well: http://twitter.com/Astronautics

They suspect it to be a Nigerian scam. I am subscribed to that Cassini list as well, but have not received anything. Astronautics says that there are some links in those emails with are better not be clicked on.

On that note, I did notice some unusual crawling activities on my website lately. Guess they were fishing for email addresses!
