4. Analysis of spam for the benefit of the group.You have made a logical leap that I do not follow. How does it benefit the group?
Some people have issues reading the signs, particularly the Received: lines. I only did this after you requested additional analysis, however.
6. Scooping wired.com by a whole 3 days.Again, big difference between sending an uncorroborated email with no analysis and no investigation, and Wired's story. At least Wired tired to investigate.
In a distributed incident of this nature, someone has to be the first to post a "strange traffic on port x" message. In this case, the research cited by Wired served to independently corroborate the initial observation. Obviously, if I hadn't posted my message, they would have nothing to corroborate with.
Crimes happen all the time.
You're right, so screw it. Let's elect a spammer as Prez, why not, I suppose it's better than the current twit.
I have no intention of doing any further research. That is a job for the police and the appropriate federal electoral authorities.So, I again ask, why mail full-disclosure if it's a job for the police? What job did you think that full-disclosure would perform?
FD is monitored by every major LEA in the world. Posting here is a good way to notify all of them at once. Please drop this now. Posting the fulltext of an incident is a legitimate use of this list. The fact that it was spam is irrelevant. The usefulness of the post was underscored by Wired.
