I've been getting hit with lots of spam from fortunemart@yahoo.com. Each spam has been one line of gibberish, plain text, no graphics, no formatting. The subjects have included: new site. link] Hi Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:41:46. link] Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:31:32. link] Wed, 14 Nov 2012 5:35:59. your friends.

These aren't as lame-looking as most of the spam I write about: they use the right logos, fonts, and typefaces. This site says they lead to malware. The giveaways are: 1) Hover over the links and see where they point before clicking (that's the best way to prevent phishing attacks and malware infections from spam).

They included a variety of graphics that look like typical credit score spam, but the sender addresses are obviously faked and the links look like they point to hacked WordPress sites like nbouhout.astblogs.org//wp-content/themes/trulyminimal/includes/framework/plugins/score_for_free.html.
