Spammers Use Holes In Democrats.org Security

Attila Dimedici writes "According to Cloudmark, 419 spammers are using the democrats.org website to relay email and bypass spam filters. 'The abuse, which dates back at least to the beginning of this month, helps evade filters that internet service providers employ to block the messages. ... The messages were sent courtesy of this page, which allows anyone with an internet connection to send emails. The PHP script employs no CAPTCHA or other measure to help ensure there is a real human being behind each email that gets funneled through the service. The service allows messages to be sent to 10 addresses at a time and even provides a way for people to import contacts they have stored in their address book.'"

[correction] I only got [4] months (April, May, June, July) - why am I being cutoff??? It's supposed to last longer than that. A friend of mine received unemployment for 13 months and we both live within the same state.

Grrr.

Sorry. Obviously I'm very very angry right now. I was counting on that check carrying me until January and now suddenly it's stopped for no apparent reason. I paid $19,500 in taxes last year. I've done my part and now for the government to turn its back on me is completely unacceptable.
