Ning "Sign in Issue" spam / mycanadarx.com

This fake email from Ning (whatever that is) leads to a fake pharmacy site on mycanadarx.com, but it could easily be adapted for malware.

"Welcome to LiveJournal" spam / dietpharmacyeat.com

This "LiveJournal" spam actually leads to a fake pharma site, but it could be adapted easily to deliver malware:

Date:      Sun, 22 Apr 2012 04:21:28 +0000
From:      "LiveJournal.com" [do-not-reply@livejournal.com]
Subject:      Welcome to LiveJournal

Congratulations! Thanks for creating a new journal at LiveJournal!

Please click here to complete validation and set your primary email*

(If you are unable to click on the link, copy and paste code into your browser window.)

Code: 33416121.5p9rmuuyqvzp7tw

All the best,

The LiveJournal Team

http://www.livejournal.com/

* About your primary email address: Your first validated email address (also known as primary email) is the only way to confirm that you own the journal, so please use only your most secure email address. If you chose a less secure address in the process of registration, we recommend that you change it and confirm your new address.

In this case, the fake pharma site is dietpharmacyeat.com. Always check the link carefully before clicking on this type of email, it might not be as it seems.

"MediaWiki Mail" Spam / carewelhealth.com

A novel spam, in this case leading to a fake pharmacy on carewelhealth.com.. but it could just as easily be malware.

Date:      Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:09:12 +0000
From:      MediaWiki Mail [wiki@wikimedia.org]
Subject:      Account details on Wikipedia

Wikipedia

Someone (probably you, from IP address 105.191.258.285) requested a reminder of your account details for Wikipedia. The following user account is associated with this e-mail address: xxxxxxxxxxx

This reminder will expire in 7 days.
If you didn't initiate the request on Wikipedia, feel free to cancel this message and uncheck the "Reminder" checkbox in your account.

Thanks, and once again Welcome!
http://en.wikipedia.org

Of course, the IP address of 105.191.258.285 is invalid, but most people probably won't be looking too closely. Keep an eye out for this type of spam. it might well lead to something nastier than a fake Viagra merchant.

I love this..

St George's Day and the 30th Anniversary of the ZX Spectrum.. Google have managed to combine both into one logo.. I love it!

NACHA Spam / 85.25.189.174

Another NACHA spam, leading to malware on 85.25.189.174:

New Blogger interface: It's all too horrible to contemplate.

If you use Blogger, you'll know that it has a new interface. It's horrible. OK, the old interface was horrible but usable at the same time. This is just horrible, with the familiar looking elements seeming sprinkled at random over the new interface.

There are a lot of companies at the moment doing a similar thing.. making over their tried and tested (but tired) old software interfaces and coming up with something pastel-ly and awful. Or perhaps I'm just a Luddite?

Update: you can share your feedback on the Blogger forum which is full of similar complaints.

LinkedIn spam / mysalepharmacy.com

There are three hyperlinks in the message, two of them are to LinkedIn and one of them is to a fake pharma site on mysalepharmacy.com on 178.19.108.195 in Poland.

Personally, I hate LinkedIn emails. Blocking everything that appears to be from linkedin.com will not have any adverse impact on your life.

"Hello. Thank you for contacting us!" spam

Here's a slightly different spam from normal, in this case it doesn't lead to malware, but to a fake pharmacy site. However, the malware/pharma playloads are easily interchangeable. So, don't click that link, eh?
