Most Spam Comes From Just Six Botnets

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the all-obsessed-with-your-wang dept.

Ezhenito noted some research pointing out the (maybe) surprising bit of research that 6 botnets are responsible for 85 percent of the world's spam. That seems a bit high to me, but the only aspect of spam I am an expert in is *getting* it.

    Wow, how totally unpredictable on /. - someone blaming Microsoft for a problem that doesn't have anything even remotely to do with them. Congratulations, I will be marking this eventful day on my calendar!! Yawn.

    That's because you're an idiot. You don't need to log out and log in as administrator! You use runas you dip shit! You're ignorance would be the same if somebody said they had to log out and back into Linux because they didn't know/hear about sudo. Just because you're an idiot doesn't mean that everybody's an idiot!
