Pump and Dump: CWTD
This is a little odd in that it doesn't follow the usual patterns for pump and dump operations. We've seen this particular stock pumped via spam several times before, but they've been quite widely spaced out. Contrast this with the recent CDGT spam which came in an intense burst over a short period. Previous CWTD spams have been received on 2005-03-23, 2005-04-04, and 2005-04-12. This one was received from 69.229.116.251 (adsl-69-229-116-251.dsl.frs2ca.pacbell.net.) on Sat, 21 May 2005 10:18:58 -0000. Full text follows.

This is starting to look a lot more like traditional pump and dump now -- two more CWTD spams have arrived. One was received from 61.51.63.87 (WHOIS: China Network Communications Group Corporation, Beijing province network) on Sun, 22 May 2005 13:48:37 -0000; the other was received from 62.84.24.156 (WHOIS: Telia MultiCom Dati AS, Latvia) on Sun, 22 May 2005 17:09:13 -0000.
Another instance has arrived, sent from 203.252.199.139 (WHOIS: SookMyung Women`s university, Seoul, Korea) on Wed, 25 May 2005 06:08:14 -0000.
Three more have arrived. The first was sent from 63.146.40.33 (WHOIS: Qwest Communications, delegated to New Knoxville Telephone, Ohio, USA) on Thu, 26 May 2005 01:58:34 -0000. The second was sent from 220.87.74.124 (WHOIS: Kornet, Korea) on Thu, 26 May 2005 05:30:35 -0000. The third was sent from 220.89.214.8 (WHOIS: Kornet, Korea again) on Thu, 26 May 2005 11:57:51 -0000. None of these source addresses have reverse DNS addresses configured. No wonder refusing mail from such hosts is a popular anti-spam technique.
