Phishing For Webmail, Jeff's system was sending spam

[dbiel 0]

One of the webmail users has had his SpamCop Email account compromised and it has been sending spam. The user reacted immediately to change his password so the spammers can't get in anymore, and the spam has stopped.

I don't have any details, but it appears that a Phishing scam is in progress trying to get SpamCop Email Service users to reveal their password.

Jeff and Trevor on top of things.
