P2P Spam?

Sgt York writes "In a NYT article (republished in the Houston Chronicle, no subscription required) experts at CERT, F-secure, Trusecure, and the Hall of Justice (see article) think that SoBig.F is a spam scheme in the making. They say that SoBig.F is the 6th variant in an ongoing experiment with the possible goal of setting up a distributed spam network, to be rented out to the highest bidder. If that is their goal, they are well on their way. Another disturbing note in the article is that "In the case of four of the six programs, a new version was launched immediately after the self-timed expiration date of the preceding one". SoBig.F expires in two weeks. "

    most of the content was usefull, not the porn and marketing you see now

    Do whatever you want to the spammers and marketers, but if you so much as THINK about getting rid of the porn, I will hunt you down.

    I'm serious. If I log on and there's so much as one tit out of place, I will kill you in your own kitchen.

    BTW, you were probably not even alive when the internet "came out". And dont use the phrase "came out" unless you're referring to a slashdot editor.
