Spamnophobic Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Given the various reports of "glitches" affecting worldwide Internet connections: Eindhoven airport closed (is also military base) https://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/3/airports/grote-storing-eindhoven-airport-geen-vliegverkeer-mogelijk Dutch national weather bureau https://allestoringen.nl/storing/knmi/ "Nigerian" maffia - where did I hear mention of that country before in spam context? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c984w8jr1glo are there any reports of increased 419 Nigerian spam yet? Or have they just got cleverer? see map of worldwide "down": looks like an attack against "the west". I think it is reasonable to assume that there is presently a Russian-based cyber attack underway against the west which "the west" is trying not to acknowledge. I had recently seen a marked surge in attempted extortion spams, against every e-mail address I have ever given them, and also of spams containing malware, which my intermediary e-mail provider unfortunately will not allow me to forward to SpamCop.

ninth Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) According to the spam map I use 1.brazil 2.russia 3.india. Other awards go to: Domains .ru phishing and .in scams. Godaddy for most spammy registrar. Alibaba sending most botnets. ss-net bg, keine namenszuordung vorhanden, hostglobalplus-as gb top 3 spam scores. These stats can change at anytime so not swearing by the accuracy. Edited August 29 by ninth sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamnophobic Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 It was "a software glitch" says Dutch min. of defense. Trying yet again not to acknowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamnophobic Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Could a Dutch min. of defense come on here and explain how it was absolutely not an attack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
