Carlo himself is well-known, he is one of our most prolific Italian localizers.
There was a flurry of messages from his e-mail address to OLPC and Sugar litss (to which he is subscribed). The messages carried differing links (I would guess they were all dangerous, but seeing the flood, I assumed that and did not actually test). The general suspicion is either a (non-intrusive) spoofing by a spambot or a compromise of his mail client/account by a spambot carried by malware. Opinions differ, I am of the opinion that since it targeted specific lists to which he is subscribed that it was a compromise (that grabbed his mailing history or address book) and not just a simple header spoof. In any event, treat messages (and especially links) from his address with suspicion until further notice. Hopefully he will regain control of his identity. cjl Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator On Sat, Jun 16, 2012 at 2:27 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > The link listed in Carlo Falciola's message is listed by McAfee Security > as a dangerous website.
