A new wrinkle, pardon the expression, in porn spam:
Suddenly, my Yahoo Mail inbox is flooded with sexually-oriented spam written in German. (How can I tell it's sexually oriented? Let's just say that there are a lot of cognates.)
Paging Stan from South Park... this is your cue (WAV, not safe for work.)
Yahoo and Gmail both have really, really good spam filters, but the Deutschespammerung seems to be defeating Yahoo for the moment.
(Which reminds me... anyone want a Gmail invitation? I have approximately eight thousand to give away. Write me... barrydotcampbell-at-gmaildotcom.)
Update, 5/16/05: The German-language spam is the result of a network worm called "Sober." PC World story (via Yahoo News) here.
