Re: [LUG] haiku virus?



Sounds like an attempt to overload the filters of the echelon surveillance
system :)

Subject: [LUG] haiku virus?


This is off subject, so apologies in advance. Has anyone been seeing spam
messages which are three or four lines of nonsense? Not trad spam in that
it doesn't include a virus attachment or an invitation to enlarge parts of
ones anatomy - just the words and nothing else. An example is

                 echidna massif knee artery disparage ferric eros
                 carefree secretariat analyst bacilli ge
                 meltwater pharmacist marginalia cashew click enigmatic
assort bismuth philadelphia

could be a haiku or something, but a can't remember how many syllables
they
are. I'm assuming this is a virus that grabs words from the infectee's
documents and then mails them out (wonder what OS such a virus might
like).
I can't see any recent virus that behaves this way. So any ideas?
         Simon
