Spammed!
October 15, 2008 11:04 am Random Helpful tipsWe got hit here at the FCC office yesterday, and the email replicated itself until FCC reached it’s SMTP relay limit, locking all staffers out of outgoing emails for 24 hours. We don’t know who took the original hit.
I got this email today, with a zip file called e-ticket attatched:

I googled it and found the scoop here. Maybe this is what happened yesterday? Someone understandably freaked out about a charge on their credit card and clicked the zip file in a panic?

I know ding, right? Well done and totally nasty. Sorta well done; they misspelled printer- and while I should be the last to throw spelling stones, I think it’s funny that they missed that when they thought this through so much.
