Spammer DDoS-By-Virus On spamhaus.org

Posted by timothy on from the hissing-and-roiling dept.

McDutchie writes "Steve Linford of Spamhaus announced in a press release that the latest Wintel virus, W32/Mimail-E, was created by spammers for the specific purpose of DDoS'ing Spamhaus, Spamcop, and SPEWS. It's becoming more and more clear that the spambags are the ones behind the recent mess with the Windows viruses. They must really be getting desperate."

    Which is why all these clueless gasbags need to drop Windows like a bag of bricks and switch to a *NIX-like OS immediately.

    That most "war zones" come about because of the refusal of candy-asses like yourself to deal with "varmints" that "need killin'", until it is too late, leading to needless suffering as a result...

    Well, that's a concept that is undoubtedly lost on the likes of you.

    That's why you're a European, with all that noble "War Zone" legacy to your credit.

    And yet he still has the vocabulary of a middle schooler, and can't pronounce common English words.

    Here's whats even scarier - this man has an entire contingent of people behind him, who're very experienced and intelligent, some of the best in their field. Their sole and only job is to coach and prep him for public appearances. And yet, even WITH all this help, GWB can't even manage to give an address as coherently as Reagan could - and he had friggin Alzheimers.

    1. Reagan did not develop Alzheimer's until some years after he left office.

    2. Not all of us are terrific public speakers. Bush has killed a lot of our enemies--that's what we pay him to do.

    3. In contrast, Clinton was a "brilliant" public speaker--if you didn't listen to what he actually said, or try to parse it. Yet he continually allowed our enemies to kill us with impunity, not responding to Mogadishu, not responding to WTC '93, not responding to U.S.S. Cole, etc.

    I really don't care if a President has a mouthful of shoe-leather every time he gives utterance, as long as he does his job.

    Bush does his job.
