Sober neo-Nazi spam
p2pnet.net News:- Sober P, the email worm that started out by supposedly offering 2006 world cup tickets, has opened the door to hate mail.
“The inboxes of affected PCs have been filling with messages linked to right-wing German websites,” says the BBC.
Known as Sober.N and Sober.P, it swamped the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), and promised free tickets to the soccer world championships.
But, “Now it has revealed a darker side and since Saturday has been downloading a spam engine – dubbed Sober-Q – which has bulk e-mailed links to right-wing German websites to all the PCs originally infected by Sober-P.”
For “right-wing German websites” read neo-Nazi.

Um… “what it says thats so hateful”?
If “neo-Nazi spam” does not explain what is meant here perhaps you need some skooling. Or, you could just shave your head and spout off ignorant crap, like “the holocaust never happened”, or maybe some tripe about the “white race” being “supreme” and all others being inferior. How’s that sound?

This is a common misrepresentation that labels all far-right or extremist ideology as “Nazi”. However, this label is never applied to people of color (including Arabs) regardless of how extremist their views may be.
