YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
This case to a genericaddress at the poohsoc domain. Seriously, does anyone have any idea why?
It's obviously spam, not a misguided forward or something, since it has random letters in, and was sent to an unused address.
The website, as far as I can tell, is a genuine one, warning somewhat innefectually Australians how to avoid tsunamis.
Someone wrote this. They had some reason. For the love of God, why. I seriously can't think of any reason. Well, ok, maybe:
1. The website records hits, it's an attempt to measure if more unusual spam gets people to click on it.
2. There's a secret code hidden in the random letters, composed by someone who wants to conceal the *existence* of a message.
3. They hope half of western australia will take to the hills and they can steal stuff and drive their car about without traffic jams. OK, so some people are stupid, but THAT stupid?
4. Someone's training an AI to generate reasonable-looking spam email, but they're not veyr good at it.
Any ideas? At all?
UPDATE: AJ points says the site *isn't* safe; it installs a trojan on some verions of internet explorer. Please tell me you haven't clicked on it.
