Oh, the ignominy!
On their way to search for clean IPs through which to send out yet another scam email, 419 con-artists (Mrs Sharon Goetz Massey) have recently started using Dilbert.com’s recommendation feature in an attempt to bypass anti-spam filters — and it works.

One thing in InfoSec is certain: the bad guys will always in a way round whatever controls we put up an find ways to subvert legitimate tools an protocols.
