I have been seeing tons of these since Monday night.  Also with forged
domains like cia.gov and fbi.gov.  It is not really coming from those
folks, the "From:" headers are all forged to better lure people in to
reading them.

Can't count all my Thanksgivings that hackers have ruined.  Too many
smart kids stuck in college dorms with high speed nets and nothing to
do but hack for the holiday.  And the pros know that most admins are
slacking this week so they have more time to play with their new found
toys before someone catches them.  Much more time than usual between
the time a 0-day, worm, virus or simple spam is launched and specific
countermeasures are taken.
