It seems that our bugzilla has started being the target of spammers 
around mid last week. I had noticed a few bugs with spam attachments and 
emailed SteveL and Howard about removing them from the db last week, but 
haven't heard back from them yet.

Here is my list from last week and this weekend:

bug 2060 and attachments 643 to 674
bug 2061 (no attachment)
bug 2062 and attachment 679

The following bugs are okay but have had attachments added to them:
attachments 675 to 678 to bug 481
attachments 680 to 729 to bug 480
attachments 730 to 735 to bug 14

... and there may be more by now...

I do not have access to the DB to remove the bugs and attachments, all I 
have access to is the bugzilla admin page, and all we seem to be able to 
do from there that might help is turn on an option to completely disable 
bugzilla. However that would also prevent legitimate visitors from 
viewing bugs so that's probably not a good idea.
