Yes another link from a compromised subscriber account that you should not
click on. This one unlike one of the others just sends you to an amazing
weight loss site. I sandboxed it before I clicked it so don't worry about
me but unless you understand what I just typed do not click the link.
Some of the other links were more nefarious than this one. What appears
to be happening is that people with long standing harp-l accounts for
whatever reason are having their e-mail accounts compromised. This last
address had been subscribed since 2009. Once the accounts are compromised
the contents of the inbox, address book etc are used to generate phishing
e-mails which get sent to people who have reasons to trust the originating
address. Harp-l itself has not been compromised. These e-mails are
created on the subscriber's e-mail accounts then mailed to the list.
I do have a fix but it's rather drastic and it would delay list e-mails
considerably. If the problem persists I will go ahead and try the fix
which I will not detail here for fear of tipping my hand. Now that's
paranoid.
