Warning: New SPAM threat - Your Latest Documents from RS Components

Received the above email today @ 13:41
A little disappointed that the spam / AV filters filters did not detect and mark / flag / drop this virus loaded email...

Somewhat miffed that this email addy is in the hands of spammers, but that's down to the 2007 foible!
What is the Cloudmark new threat catch-up / turn round window - hours, days or weeks?

Re: Warning: New SPAM threat - Your Latest Documents from RS Components

Received the same message to an externally-hosted email address. It was marked as spam, but only just. Without some of the custom weighting I've applied to Spamassassin tests, it would have got through unscathed.
Looks to originate from a botnet so trapping at the source is tricky.
I expect Cloudmark will develop a signature for it eventually, not sure when though as it's not an exact science.

I believe it can be hours if they get enough reliable reports. Most of these to me have been trapped already. I've reported one that wasn't (using the 'spam' button in webmail).

Re: Warning: New SPAM threat - Your Latest Documents from RS Components

Had 30-40 of these today - sent to an email address not used by PN so you can rule that out.
In fact they were sent to an email address with my full name showing as well so I suspect something to do with either Yahoo Groups or one of the many Chinese companies I've used that email address with.

Re: Warning: New SPAM threat - Your Latest Documents from RS Components

I did get 3 quarantine alerts to 3 separate mailboxes ~ not a thing I recall seeing before from @quarantine.plus.com
I would like to hope that had they gotten through my AV setup would have detected them Smiley
