What You Get When You Buy a Spam CD
defender writes "Recently over here in The Netherlands, the spam versus anti-spam 'war' has hardened. More professional spamming coming from a handful of hard-core spammers utilizing bulletproof hosting in India, chained open proxies, more and more false whois information, etc. One of the more known anti-spam people has been sent one of the subjects of those spams: a CD with millions of e-mail addressess of 'individuals' and hundreds of thousands of 'businesses'...
