MP3 Stock Spam

October 17th, 2007

Cool! I’ve been waiting quite some time for this. Jay Chandler reported on a spam discussion mailing list that he received a stock spam this evening that had an MP3 attachment with audio of a speech synthesizer reading a stock spam. It wasn’t detected by the Razor only spam filtering appliance it went through.

I want one! An MP3 spam, that is.

    I received a few later on last night. The lowest SpamAssassin scored them was 13.3 (with a spam threshold of 5.0). Most were around 16.0.

    The audio was about as intelligible as some of the obfuscated stock spams. The audio message was run through twice lasting a total of 1 minute.
