Nothing like being away from email for a weekend, and coming back to 1,500 virus emails pretending to be bounces sitting in your inbox. Apparently it even managed to DDOS Google while leveraging the search engine to look for new email addresses. (I guess my email address is a to seach accessible)

This is the way to do a denial of service attack, make it look normal, legitimate activity. I’m surprised someone hasn’t written a DDOS that creates thousands and thousands of Amazon shopping carts full of random items. The combination of the load, plus the data storage requirements would be crippling.
