An Interview with 180 Solutions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-to-know dept.

Paperghost writes "Here's a great interview between Jimmy Daniels and an anonymous ex-employee of 180 Solutions, who portrays the company as being somewhere between turmoil and meltdown. There's so many notable quotables it's scary, but here's one that really sets the tone: 'Shutting down these rogue distributors turned out to be a lot more difficult than they expected though. When you lose them, your daily installs go down drastically and the revenue goes to hell. The layoff in September could be laid directly at the feet of this effort.'"

    And the police saying I can't put cameras in my tenants' apartment bedrooms made producing amateur porn a lot more expensive, too.

    There will ALWAYS be spam friendly companies.
    There is too much money in making money off botnets, spam and other tactics for greedy people to ignore. There'll always be someone prepared to take the risk, and be prepared to turn a blind eye to suspect but profitable accounts.

    You know it's hard out here for spyware,
    when you're tryin' to sell Viagra to the men.
    On viruses and trojans we depend,
    And Firefox is givin' us a scare.
