I'm getting suspicious e-mail pretending to come from leading NANOGers. Not
the first time this has happened, but you may want to be warned.
Yours,

Interestingly, the phishes are both using NANOG members' names as forged
one comes with half a dozen addresses of which usually one or two are
familiar to me as frequent contributors.
Or a nanog member might be infected and the malware is scraping his mailbox for bogus froms. Got headers?
On a great many mailing lists, Suresh is spot on as this looks more like
infected user but headers would be good.

Yes. The names are used in the From: but not the e-mail addresses. The
payload is inside SecureServer.net's 43.255.154.0/24 - 43.255.154.125 and

Here are a couple recent specimens that appear to fit this pattern:
This is the sort of mail, based on stolen address books from numerous sites and sometimes on mined Facebook data, that the same spam group has been sending since mid 2013. At some point in 2016 they started permuting the data; previously, if A's addressbook had been stolen, the mail always came "From:" A, but now if A's addressbook had B and C in it, the mail might be "From:" B to C.
It is of course possible that they have new sources of data, although I haven't seen any particular evidence of that recently. (I have seen evidence that they have moderately increased competence in getting their spam delivered and read, which has been their main problem in recent years.) Addressbook data stays useful until all of your contacts get new email addresses.
