Is anybody else getting CNN spam email. This is coming in on an email I use only for Pa*yPa*l. The only things I have purchased recently are on BHW and DP.

Yeah it links to a malware infected site.
 
It's a trojan sending out the crap. Either you've emailed someone that got trojand or you have a common email address.. My software support address would get a metric ass ton of that bullshit until i setup URLBL + SRBL + Spam assassin on my inbound mx.. Now rarely 1 makes it through ;)
 
yea just noticed it today in my spam folder, tons of it
 
I thought someone was playing a joke on me. I've been getting about 500 of these a day (they come from all different email addresses). It's been going for like a week now. I actually turned off my server side spam blocking because it was blocking important emails, this is making me seriously consider turning it back on.
 
Thanks for the response guys. I hope they give up soon, although they only need one in every million I suppose.
I am only getting it from one email, my paypol one. It may be someone I bought from is infected. I have just set a rule in outlook to delete any email with cnn alert header, seems to work.

Funny how we all get the same spam. Those CNN ones are really pissing me off.
 
I got it too and I've been getting like 3-4 a day for the past week.
They did a good job though, the e-mail looks legit. I'm sure they are building one hell of a net.

3-4? You are lucky, got about 175 just today!! And it comes from my pay**pal account email.
 
I've been getting these too. Whatever you do, don't click on any of the links within the email. As mentioned above, it's full of malware designed to infiltrate your PC. I checked it out on an older PC I use for just for testing software and my anti-virus program blocked the intrusion.

This email is hard to block because they us some type of domain rotator. Block one and other emails still get thru with a similar domain. Those RAT BASTARDS.
 
I wish that was the only one I'm getting. On top of about 500 of those a day I'm also getting:

Inter*net Exp*lorer 7 from admin@micros*oft
