Pornographic spam has sparked a litigious rage in Warwick University officials. |
Some Hotmail users have received junk emails, apparently from Warwick University email addresses, containing links to porn sites.
The messages were traced back to an American ISP called Starnet, the university said. None originated from genuine Warwick accounts, and none had been routed through JANET, the UK's academic computer network.
Unfortunately for those who almost got an application form, this was a case of impersonation. The filters didn't filter the pornogrpahic links in the e-mail system..
