New Not really
I know some other warp people have already received over 500 emails in the last 45 minutes. It's not that their machines are infected; it's that their email addresses were harvested.

As an aside... an insane amount of spam like this does little to advance commercial interests... but disguising an attack on the data infrastructure as the mother of all drive-by spammings is perhaps a good way to divert attention from the real reason.
