More Seasonal Fare and a Carol Too!

Here's a follow-up to a blog post last week. This offers more Christmas fare from our friends the spammers, enjoy! Yes, these are screenshots of real spam e-mails I have received, they are not made up ones, cross my heart.



No, one of the women shown above isn't called Carol, and the other isn't Mrs Claus either! ;-) Yes, I have supplied a modesty filter, so not to offend anyone that may be upset by the nature of the picture.

Here's one with Santa [Mr Claus] as you have probably never seen him before, or want to see him again. It's enough to put you off your mince pies! ;-)



For those wondering where Carol is, then wait no longer:

As I'm in a ‘festive’ frame of mind, and just for a bit of fun, here's a modified version of the last verse of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas‘, Please feel free to sing along, yes and that means you in the back - stop hiding, I can see you:

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve phishers phishing,
Eleven bot-nets,
Ten data stealers,
Nine storm worms,
Eight spyware a-spying,
Seven spammers a-spamming,
Six password stealers,
Five lottery stings,
Four new exploits,
Three BlueTooth worms,
Two Web 2.0 worms,
And a scam from e-Bay!

And if anyone can do better, and I’m sure you can, then please post them as comments. The same goes for any other Christmas carol you feel you can be creative with; the only rule is you must use computer security and malware terms.
