Spamhaus: MCI Makes $5M A Year In Spam Profits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-stone-the-spam-prophets dept.

An anonymous reader submits "According to a new Spamhaus report, MCI makes $5 million a year hosting spammers and illegal spamware. MCI/UUNET has long topped the Spamhaus spam supporting ISPs list, with nearly 200 active SBL entries. MCI even took on spammers such as iMedia, when they were terminated by Savvis in their half-hearted response to leaked pro-spam memos."

  1. Might not be everything... by mainfr4me · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That 5 million may not be everything they make off of that too, there might be other income they are getting off of it that could be coming from other sources. I'm only guessing, but it wouldn't surprise me.
