NY Times On Spam Zombies

Posted by Zonk on from the creddiiiiit-caaaaaardssss dept.

A discreetly valorous slashdotter writes "The NY Times is featuring a story about the growing armies of spam zombies. It focuses on New Jersey teen spammer Jasmine Singh. Choice quote: 'Hacking in its purest form is not about compensation or about wrecking a Web site. Hacking in its pure form is to show what you can do.'"

  1. NYT link by mabu · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey, you forgot the obligatory, "first born child required for access" - this is the NYT we're talking about, so the link goes to a sign-up screen if you haven't registered.

    How disappointing. One of the few things I look forward to on slashdot are how creative the posters can be with maligning the NYT's registration process. Don't let me down!
