New York Times Article on Email Attack.

Some people have asked why I did not mention
john Markof's article on the email phishing scam where a fake subpoena was sent to executives of certain companies.

The answer is that I actually wrote the entry on Monday before the attack occurred and the scheduling robot posted it.

This particular attack appears to have originated from a group that specializes in bank fraud against company accounts. But now that the possibilities of this particular vector have become apparent we will probably start to see similar attacks with a corporate espionage motive.
