Another Worm Targets Anti-Spam Sites
kevinvee writes "Yahoo! is reporting about the next battle of Spam Houses versus Spamhauses. This time, its W32/Mimail-L receiving the attention. "It's the third Mimail variation to come after us, except this one is trying to do more," said Steve Linford, founder of The Spamhaus Project. Apparently this reincarnation comes as an attachment offering naked photographs. Once infected, a follow-up e-mail is sent to the user stating that a CD containing child pornography will be delivered to their postal address. "These guys write trojan (viruses), they carry out DDOS attacks and they get their money through selling stolen credit cards and spamming," Linford said."
Mission critical decisions demand massive amounts of polesmoking and salad tossing before you just break down and buy the Microsoft product you should have bought weeks ago in the first place, cockgobbler. But, nooo.., you had to try to fix the square peg of OpenSores into the round hole of Reliability and Integration.
No one ever got fired for buying Microsoft. But you'll soon be fired for this latest fuckup, jagoff. Enjoy your source code. Make sure you print it out before they fire your ass; it will make great toilet paper while you search for your next job you clueless fuckknob.

You are a traitor to all of troll kind with your topical, pertinent posts.
HAHAHAHA. Nice troll. Let me summarize your post:
I didn't read the article but I am going to use my boiler plate rant to try and score some Karma Whore points.
Don't go screaming that "See! IIS sucks! just yet." This is a documented a subsequently ignored problem with Apache. I like the concept of open source as much as anybdoy around here, but this is one regrettable case where we dropped the ball. We should have patched this the day it was released. Still, we have substantiall less black eyes than Microsoft, but a black eye nontheless.
Spammers have been taken to court over this here in Ohio. Unfortunately is amounted to little more than a slap on the wrist. This should have been a ground-breaking case, but sadly just an example of how the justice system doesn't always work.
I just noticed that slashdot has replaced the little Spam Can icon with
