"do u love me?" Spam
I just got hit by a dictionary attack on my email account, where random names were added to my domain. Now I have over 1800 pieces of spam with the subject consisted of "do u love me?" and a blank body. I suspect, due to the non-existant payload and body, that this was just a "test" emailing, to see if the address would bounce. I don't have much time, or patience, to go through each header, but it seems that [a random sample] originate from the following sources:
- 202.8.214.142 - Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
- 219.45.48.40 - Softbank BB [Japanese]
- 201.0.45.26 - TELECOMUNICACOES DE SAO PAULO S.A
So I have a coordinated attack from the Asia Rim, Japan, and Brazil. This is frustrating on so many different levels. I think it is time to start restricting my wildcard addresses.
UPDATE: There, no more wildcard forwarding to my primary email. That stopped the flow of spam. No more making up email addresses to send to me people.
