Password Gropers Hit Peak Stupid, Take the Spamtrap Bait

badger.foo (447981) writes Peter Hansteen reports that a new distributed and slow-moving password guessing effort is underway, much like the earlier reports, but this time with a twist: The users they are trying to access do not exist. Instead, they're taken from the bsdly.net spamtrap address list, where all listed email addresses are guaranteed to be invalid in their listed domains. There is a tiny chance that this is an elaborate prank or joke, but it's more likely that via excessive automation, the password gropers have finally hit Peak Stupid.

Directly evidenced by the population's insistence on voting for the most stupid of politicians in the hope that they can't screw things up further, or in the mistaken belief that they can make things better.
