And I believe I have seen a change in the type of harvesting: My impression is that fewer accounts are being included in each try, tries are spread over a longer time and that they are using often relays and/or alternative IP addresses. They could all be separate attacks, but the names being tested seem to follow a pattern that subjectively indicate that only a few attacks are happening. I got the impression that a new type of harvesting that attempts to keep below the automatic detectors is starting to happen. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
