Just come in from work and found over 4000 unread messages!
Things seem to have calmed down now though.

I'm using NIN.
Is everyone else now seeing this?


I am on NIN and only got a few hundred, spread over two bursts.



I am using BT internet and have not seen one Spam email.

Default Flood Bombing

Loads and loads of (junk) messages on Google- at least 1,000. They
suddenly appeared about 6pm, but it hadn't been updating for a while
before. A quick search shows these two groups were similarly flooded a
few days ago:

uk.misc
uk.sport.football.clubs.liverpool

as were these last month:
alt.autos.nissan
alt.games.grand-theft-auto

Also just had a load of messages like
[WEATHER] 236567788&^%$^688gujj&^&** appear now.

That's ironic as the spammer was using btopenworld for some of the spam.
