RE: Franz's scam letter posted

I have not received such e-mails at work although our IT department has a scam filter that may block them before I see them.



Changing your signature lines would only fool the most rudimentary of hackers.  More sophisticated hackers could still garner e-mail addresses from the "From: " line in the header.

Radsafers,

This is off topic, but Franz brings up the question whether the RADSAFE server has been hacked to get a member list.  Or, has someone joined the the RADSAFE list just to pick our email addresses off the bottom of our postings? I have changed my email posting at the end for that reason.  I remember that Bjørn Cedervall use to spell out "at" instead of using the @ symbol to prevent such a theft.  Perhaps we should resort to that on this list.  I am concerned because in the past month, I notice that I have been getting this same type of scam/spam email with increasing frequency here at work.  This is surprising because at work I only visit work related websites, HPS, NRC, EPRI, state and federal govenment, etc. or subscribe to other sites such as The Scientist, ChemWeb, etc.  I have not seen this incease in scam/spam at home.  Just wondering if the rest of you are seeing an increase in this type of scam/spam at work lately.
