[LUG] Yahoo spam article

 

Saw an article on this by "our" Martijn the other day thanks to Google
alerts.

This one describes something slightly different to those I've seen
(number of recipients and pattern of recipients), but almost certainly
by the same people, or similar exploit.

Forbes is pretty sucky advert-wise - but I'm assuming you all have
browsers that only run flash when you ask them to by now etc....
