Anyway, back to my original point... what the heck is that e-mail all about?

It was legitimate - from clicking on the Ziggurat free game banner on the front page... but why is it half in Russian, half in Engrish?

mike_cesara: Might could be. Bots are quite quick.. Talk to yahoo, but to be honest, I'm getting loads of spam in batches over there since nineties..

drmike: Always amazes me how different systems get hit so differently.

Most of our abuse comes out of Microsoft (ie bots) and ev1/The Planet IP space.

Germany has its content scrapers.

Would love to see the headers of the email.
On yahoo I'm getting some strange invitations to f*ckbook usually. Never used any social network in my life, not to mention places like the one above. Does it even exist? ; ) As well as medicine related spam (judging by the subject), like canadian farmacy. And only very few people in the world knows my yahoo address.
What's interesting, only first letters match my address, the rest seems to be completely random..

btw, on local mailboxes I'm getting only mail provider werbungs, still annoying as hell. Luckily Icedove does the the job for me ; p

It happens every time email travels through Russia.

Just to mention, I;m getting 20-30 second page loads, especially when trying to post.

Mike, to be honest, not sure. While our servers get between 6-7 million instances of abuse a day across the servers, email spam is about a tenth of that and I may see 100-200 of those that get through for review. After years of that, I;m mostly looking at where they come from instead of the actual content.

One thing you can do is head over here and see if a website you gave information to previously got hacked:

Because GOG?
Im thinking its just weird glitch. Maybe servers are slightly overloaded. Never had Russian and English mixed up in same email.
P.S. Радуйся, няша :3

I'll pass this onto the relevant teams to look into things.


Also, don't forget to protect your details ;)

I keep getting a little bear holding up the world on it's shoulders while looking discusted. Reminds me of the little bear icon used by a Russian travel agency that I once toured with (well, 20 years ago :) ).
How ironic.

A bear moved into my backyard this morning.

Little asshole emptied out my bird feeder.

Lets sort it out once and for all. I'm not Russian. I happen to know some people around the world I've met during my adventure. I also have Russian friends and I can read Cyrillic, nothing fancy about it ; p
English is not the only language on the world, you may take my word for it : D

True; there's American. :)

I wish I could communicate in more then one language. I took French in high school and later in college plus German many years later but I am not able to communicate in either.

Took French in high school, one year in college myself. I retained just enough to get myself beat up in Paris.
