Plompetta,

In Usenet, news.admin.net-abuse.email is where I always go for any email
exploits news. Warning - that is a very vocal group, and not always polite.

Websites that I read frequently:
Broadband/DSLReports <http://www.dslreports.com/forum/>
SANS <http://isc.sans.org/>
SecurityFocus / Bugtrac <http://www.securityfocus.com/>
SpywareInfo <http://forums.spywareinfo.com/>

Cheers,
Chuck
