It's most likely just a joe-job thing. While backscatter is nothing new, I haven't seen backscatter on the current scale before. (It's been going on for about three weeks now.) It's starting to get some press: http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1698505531;fp;16;fpid;1 Other web sites claim that the spam network that sends out these forged messages is connected to the Storm Worm network... I've gotten on the order of 40K messages per week since it started. Most of it is tagged as spam, but the "out of office" and challenge-response messages slip through. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.)
