Sorry for jumping in, (I'm behind on the thread, just logged on).

Someone mentioned in the last few days (or I read it somewhere?) that terrorists set up their "temporary" websites used to relay messages and they often have a web address that consists of a string of numbers or random characters.

I have been getting spam email from a fradulent "SunTrust". There is a real Sun Trust that warns of the fraud spam on their web site. The spam is trying to get banking info. I just talked to someone from the real Sun Trust and they said this spam is coming from somewhere in Asia. They also knew nothing of the hidden code that follows.

The point is (sorry for rambling) when viewing the source code for the spam this is what I got:

area coords="0, 0, 646, 437" shape="rect" href="http://%36%39%2E%31%34%36%2E%35%34%2E%31%30%34:%38%37/%73%74/%69%6E%64%65%78%2E%68%74%6D">in 1861 in 1917 Just the contrary in 1853 and make them better? Michael Jordan when the Geena Davis Illinois man over there Paula Jones On behalf of... whats going on Valetine's Day

If you tweak with the email ifself (highlighing a certain portion and drap the mouse) the Michael Jordon, etc. sentence pops up at the bottom of the screen.

I know the M. Jordon sentence doesn't make sense, but, when do terrorists make sense. This jibberish is not viewed by just reading the email itself. The jibberish is hidden.

I just talked to someone from the real Sun Trust and they said this spam is coming from somewhere in Asia. They also knew nothing of the hidden code.

Weird. Thanks for letting me vent.
