They’re BA-ACK: “Federal Buyer’s Guide” Spammers
The old Military Industrial Buyer’s Guide spammers that I blogged about back in November 2011 are back under new domains (dodsupplier.com
and dodworld.com
) and slightly modified name (Federal Buyer’s Guide). Their ESP is still SendGrid.
As before, this organization is spamming a long-closed role address that never sent any email to anybody, and never received email except to deal with web site issues. I noted in early January that the spam from this sender had resumed after stopping for a few weeks over the holidays.
