This is a KNOWN SPAM (it is currently being talked about in the Net-SPAM
Usenet Newsgroup). It has been coming from 3 sites (one in Italy, one in
France, and one in Germany). The national Police in all 3 countries (as
well as the FBI) are apparently investigating it. To track the situation
monitor this Web Page (Which should be Globally Accessible):

Does anyone know the officials who are investigating? I have some additional
information.
It appears that someone may have obtained the cypherpunks mailing list and used
it as the basis for the Spam. This is a serious matter.

You mean the list of folks subscribed to cypherpunks? The list that
you get by sending mail to majordomoe@toad.com with a body of 'who
cypherpunks'?
