Follow up from eTrade spam – Bank of America spam

  • Artikel

Last week, I wrote about eTrade spam hitting inboxes.  Today, we’re seeing the follow up from that: Bank of America spam.

This looks identical to the previous run with one difference: it’s spoofing Bank of America.  Like the previous spam campaign, the message body contains only a link to a https://goo.gl redirector and the subject line contains all of the information.

Just like before, the spammer is using multiple bots.  They’ve done a good job at evading Google’s controls and they are even sending some of the spam from Gmail’s outbound IPs. To put it one way, as my co-worker did, they’re abusing Google like a rented mule. 

Most likely, it’s the same people doing it.
