Another Potentially Malicious Email Making The Rounds
We received an email from a reader indicating that he has received several suspicious emails purporting to be from his ISP. The emails indicate that his email space is running out and tells him to click on the link to increase the space. Of course, the email is another example of social engineering attempts in email. I am wondering how many others are receiving this email and how wide spread it is. Please let us know if you have seen these emails.

My users have all been told, repeatedly, to ignore any e-mails of this nature and to confirm with me prior to clicking any links in such e-mails.

So far I haven't seen links hosting malicious code as such; they're generally not that sophisticated!
I help to maintain lists of reply addresses and links at the APER project http://code.google.com/p/anti-phishing-email-reply/ (SVN repository at http://aper.svn.sourceforge.net/)

I am surprised this even manages to make news in the diary anymore. This stuff is like the same joke forwarded you from some friend new to the internet, only problem is that you've been forwarded this same joke every couple years since in my case, '96.
