Spam Blacklist Targets Hijacked Telewest Customers

Posted by timothy on from the spammers-should-be-hung-by-their-thumbs dept.

davidmcg writes "BBC.co.uk reports that UK cable firm Telewest has had almost one million email address blacklisted by an anti-spam firm. The Spam Prevention Early Warning System blacklisted the email addresses because a large number of the machines using them have been hijacked by spammers. Telewest have stated that they knew about the problem and have been working with customers to regain control of their machines."
