First swine flu spam email?

Today, I received my first swine flu related spam email (see previous post on the subject). Frobuck E. Acho sent me a message with the title "Office is on quarantine". The body of the mail is faking a health newsletter published by some health institution in California.

That institution, Jbibjhj Health (or is it Gueaami Health, as the "copyright" line suggests?), claims to be located in the city of Zevovumah, CA, which, as it happens, doesn't even exist. So where is that office really located? All the links point to websites in China...

No office, no quarantine.

Swine flu spam outbreak?

Newspapers are reporting that the swine flu pandemic is giving spammers new fodder to pig out on. See this article from the McAfee Avert Lab Blog, for example.

So far, my inbox has managed to stay safe:

Hope your spam filter doesn't need to wear a mask.
