New kind of spam

October 18, 2007 by Michael Boyle

Just now I got my first instance of what I think is a new form of spam – an email with an audio file payload. It was only about 175Kb all tolled and it was just as easy to delete as any other spam (i.e., very), but I was surprised to see it at all. Is this a widespread phenomenon? Who else receives these?
