Good evening,

A mid-sized high tech client got a new CEO a few months ago. Since coming on 
board, he's received a steady stream of probe email addresses from a wide 
variety of throw away email address. The addresses are most often Gmail 
accounts with random letters for the name and for the address. The subject line 
and message body are often blank, but they occasionally contain "Hello". There 
is no malicious payload. No other messages arrive from the same address to any 
employee and the sender's address doesn't show up via any searches I've 
conducted.

Any speculation on the purpose of these messages?
Any ideas on how to trace them back to someone?
Any ideas on how to stop them?
Anyone else seeing this?

-David
