This morning, I received spam inviting me to contribute a technical article for an alleged 'security' magazine named 'hakin9'. Ordinarily, I would have Just Hit Delete, but the following paragraph caught my attention.As you are interested and knowledgeable in IT security matters and you are a famous persona in IT security community we would be honoured if you wish to cooperate with us and to write some technical, IT security related articles for our magazine.Did anyone else on this list, particularly anyone who has recently posted to this list, receive the same spam?
I got one, read as far as "you are a famous persona in IT security community", and figured they had me confused with some *other* sysadmin at a cow college. :)
