Smart new spam

The spammers' social engineering just gets better and better. Now, they are taking advantage of the fact that more and more people are sending each other photo galleries through services like Ofoto.

I just got an email with the subject "Cathy's Invited you to view her Photo Album" from alerts@igreetings.com. As I don't know anyone named Cathy Windsor, I grew suspicious, viewed source, and saw all the standard spammy indicators.

Beware. I didn't click on the link, but I don't want to know what sort of evil it would have tried to pull.
