E-mail users around the world got a rude awakening Thursday when a spammer flooded their inboxes with nationalist, borderline-racist propaganda in German.

The messages -- which appeared to blame immigrants, prisoners and welfare recipients for Germany's problems -- hit recipients in California, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands, according to initial reports on antispam mailing lists. Some recipients reported receiving just a few messages, while others reported being overwhelmed by thousands of pieces of the spam.

In comparison to other propaganda that can be found on the Internet, the messages are relatively mild. "Bankruptcy of the health service by foreigners" read the subject line of one message. "What Germany needs is more German children," argued another.

But it wasn't the context of the messages that had some observers troubled. Rather, it was the method by which they were transmitted: through spam zombies.

Zombies are personal computers that have been infected with a virus that allows spammers to control them from a remote location for the purposes of sending out mass quantities of spam. These infected machines allow spammers to send much more e-mail than they could with their own e-mail server. It also makes it harder for authorities to trace the source of the messages.

haha I hope it isn't illegal there. As far as I am aware it is legal to 'spam' (even though that is a poor choice of word) people with political messages. So more power to him, and at least he is sending a good message!

I actually know how they are infecting peoples PC's to send it for them or at least one of the ways. It appears they are using an AIM exploit that when loaded by clicking the See my pictures link in the message, it hijacks your AIM and begins to send out to everyone on your AIM list.
Then your email goes nuts and starts sending packets.

I got curious when I started to get some See my pictures links from some people I know via AIM.

ACHTUNG

To the spammer on GFY sending out these messages, please also send them out in English.

Danke

They are beating most filters until you set some custom changes in them. Unless of course you do not mind missing a great deal of real emails.
