The recent spike in spam can be attributed to a new trend called MP3 spam or spaMP3. The next time you check your e-mail and a stranger calling himself Ch3ApV1AgraMan sent you a free MP3…don’t click on it.

Elvis and the Beatles probably never could have imagined they would one day be used to commit stock fraud. But that is exactly what is happening, as spammers have taken to using MP3 attachments in e-mails named after recording artists as part of a pump-and-dump stock scam.

Haven;t got one of those emails yet :D and thanks for the heads up
 
My work has been getting hit pretty hard by this hopefully i filter software will get updated soon.
 
Damn, thats a good way to fill your inbox. Just think 100 of those a day * about 5 MB each (just assuming the size) would be about 500MB of spam a day. :(
