It seems as though there is a concentrated effort of attacks going on. I
don't want to be an alarmist, but me and all my friends are under attack.
Not just this spam going to this group. We've all seen activity in our
apache logs in the last week of people looking for holes. Mostly PHP, cgi,
and XML. On our sendmail servers we are seeing requests for relay from
spammers. More than usual.
Just wanted to tell everybody to check your logs if you are running apache
and sendmail and tighten things up.
Told the wife I was going to fly over to Taiwan and kick the @ss of this
guy that got through on my server. Got into cgi and was trying to run a
ping script. All he accomplished was he filled up var and maxed my cpu (it
was a poorly written perl re-direct script.) *NOTE: she was able to calm
me down as I was on the phone with the airlines. "He's probably a 12 year
old zit face with no friends, feel sorry for him."
If people have relay turned on in their sendmail, the spammers - "virus
weasles," could be going through their servers as people have been trying
to do in my case.
I still want to "visit Taiwan." I think that there might be a few less
black hats in the world.

Same subject line, same three image placeholders. Is there someone at
ActiveState we can scream to?
Is there some kind of a JAVAqi terrorist seeking to destory the Perl
community? :) It cannot be from Microsoft since they have a stake in
ActiveState.
