Link:British parliament attacked using WMF exploit

CNet reports that The British Parliament was attacked by Chinese hackers trying to exploit the WMF vulnerability.

The emails were individually tailored and pretended to come from a Governmental organisation. Spammers are trying harder everyday. The more information they gather on us through spyware, the easier they can beat spam filters since most spam filters work on the premise that spam and genuine email read completely differently and can be told apart easily by a human.

Btw..has anyone noticed Gmail's spam filter faultering lately. Its been letting quite a few spam emails into my inbox and it also produced a false positive the other day.
