PC-fre@k Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 German hate mail spam attack stuns experts - [Computer Security] Submitted by Hollywood on 6/11/2004 7:42:57 PM Mailboxes in Germany and the Netherlands were flooded yesterday with spam containing German right-wing propaganda. Spammers used the Sober.G virus - a mass mailing worm that sends itself to email addresses harvested from infected computers. Analysts think the spammers may have worked in tandem with virus programmers to hijack PCs and use addresses found there to build large distribution lists. This is believed to be the first time that right wing extremists have used spamming systematically to reach a broad audience. The sheer size of the operation stunned many experts. Although none of the mails referred to it specifically, the European election may well have triggered the flood of racist emails. Some of the messages, with taglines such as "What Germany needs are German children", complained about the increasing numbers of immigrants from Turkey and Belarus, who are "driving criminality up" and are entering into "mixed relationships" with German women. According to the German news site Heise Online, the Sober G. virus seems to get its instructions from servers at home.arcor.de, people.freenet.de, home.pages.at, scifi.pages.at en free.pages.at, but there is still no conclusive evidence as to who orchestrated the unprecedented flood of hate emails. ---------------------- Hier is pc-freakz.com dus ook de pineut van!!!!
