Fighting The Spammers Down Under

An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Sydney Morning Herald is running an interesting article about fighting spammers. It mentions that "Most of today's email spam, however, comes from a handful of culprits, described by Barry and others as &quotknown criminals&quot." Does anybody else wonder who these people are, and what are the odds of having them shut down for good?"

  1. Sad News-Goatse.cx Guy DEAD! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll
    I just heard the sad news on Socialist Workers radio. Web entreprenuer/pioneer goatse.cx guy was found dead in his home this morning. Even if you never admired his work, you can appreciate what he did for the 'last frontier' of the internet.

    Reports are that he died from complications resulting from "Homosexual Australian Linux Spammers". Truly an internet icon. He will be missed :(
