An Information Security Place

Commentary on the State of Information Security

I get a lot of foreign-language spam, and most of it gets sent to junk and deleted.  So while searching through my email today, I ran across these three emails.  The bottom two emails are identical, but when I saw the first couple of words, I thought they were foreign and almost hit the delete key.  Then I noticed they were from companies with crazy names.

Is it just me, or are these company names getting crazier and crazier?  Do they run these things through a random word generator or something?  And sometimes I wonder why they even bother since they are probably just going to get bought in a couple of months anyway.  Might as well just call them "Company A".  Does the name mean that much?  I know sometimes I get kinda confused when a tech company name does not reflect at all what they do or produce, but come on.  Anyway…
