Europe Home to Majority of Zombies

Posted by samzenpus on from the stop-the-spam dept.

Rei writes "According to a recent CipherTrust study, the majority of Zombie PCs reside not in the US or China, but in Europe. Of the European zombies, 2/3 were either in Germany, France, or Britain. The results were released with the announcement of CipherTrust's new ZombieMeter. As a response to previous reports of high zombie activity, the London Action Plan launched Operation Spam Zombies in cooperation with numerous governments around the world."

    The information that matters here is whether the European Zombies are classic slow moving "Romero" type zombies or modern "28 days later" type zombies.

    This will tell us what we need to know in order to fight them.

    I want to like Safari. But why are the documents generated by XSL transformations in 2.0/RSS so frickin' slow? Firefox does the transform and has the generated document onscreen almost instantly, and all is well. In Safari, it lags like the dickens.
