    Just wondering if any other admins had seen a huge surge in spam emails today from seemingly legitimate Irish companies? I have had hundreds of emails in the past couple of hours from .ie email addresses.

    Wonder if this is as a result of the Blacknight hack?

    The subject lines all seem to relate to "NEW JOB" or "WORK AVAILABLE".

    Had another bombardment of these over the weekend.

    A few "from" government departments such as Teagasc, MABS, college addresses and a host of other Irish companies. Be interesting to find out the story with it.

    Are they all coming from the same source?

    The return address is the same as the sender address (all .ie )
    The content of the emails is the same but the country of origin is different.
