Federal Subpoena email spam
It is kind of a whaling attack targeting big fishes in corporate offices like CEO?s, top executives and managers.

?This is one of the best phish e-mails I've seen in the past 6 years? quoted by Mr. Steve Kirsch, a well known Silicon Valley entrepreneur

Remember, that it is not legal to send subpoena via emails unless it is agreed by the people. Also All US Federal courts have URLs of the form ?courtname.uscourts.gov? and not in the form
?uscourts.com? mentioned in email. So Beware of these kinds of mails. The Abaca Email Protection Gateway (http://www.abaca.com/) service was the only service I know that quarantined these emails.
