All of a sudden, I am getting lots of SPAM hits.

Doesn't usually happen.

What is going on with VF??

Well with the large DDOS attacks going on at the moment, wouldn't surprise me if those same systems are being used as a mass spam platform.

Yeah, I've noticed increase of spam coming to my otherwise relativity clean inbox (@clear.net.nz).

Oh just a heads up. VF is aware of this and is taking steps. It was hitting some catchall addresses that route to my staff address so I got a bunch of it myself.

Please note: I have a professional bias towards Vodafone.
