Hi List

Yesterday we noticed our email abuse counter measures having a busy day.

It always started with a successfull SMTP auth and an email sent with
Subject

SMTP Ripper | Valid SMTP Found
or
SMTP Cracker User-ID Num: [HEX-STRING]

sent to different gmail.com address.

Shortly after multiple source IP attempted to start sending spam or
phishing email - almost immediately triggering our countermeasures.

I am a bit surprised that so many customers suddenly fall for phishing
emails. I more suspect the victims use the emailaddress with SAME
password for authentication with some other services which were victim
of the recent huge data breaches?
