Caduceus Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I've noticed that recently that I get a lot of spam from Hotmail Live and Yahoo email accounts. For about 4-5 years this was mostly unheard of. Is this a recent trend among spammers to use Hotmail Live and Yahoo email accounts. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm that the spam has actually come from Hotmail/Yahoo accounts or have they simply been displaying (probably) forged Hotmail/Yahoo addresses as the sender. I'm not aware of any increase in numbers from or pretending to be from any particular free Email service. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caduceus Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yes I can. The headers show that they are coming from Windows Live Mail or Yahoo. I never pay attention to the "from" address on the spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a gmail-gmail spam message a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yes I can. The headers show that they are coming from Windows Live Mail or Yahoo. How about posting a Tracking URL? That's usually quite helpful. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
