Love hearing news like this.

On a related note, I found this very interesting: Spam gets 1 response per 12,500,000 emails

Now thats a damn good ratio.

Normally we process about 685 inbound emails per minute with a peak around 6300 inbound emails per minute. Today, we're around 148 inbound emails per minute.

Serious dent in things. Its a shame it'll be shortlived -- they shut down the command and control network, but, the machines that were compromised are still compromised, and once they reestablish a connection with their parent, it'll be back... sadly.

|gabbo|What? No more 'CHnEAaP_VIiAnGRiA' every other email?

That California firm must have been a MAJOR player in spam. I was wondering why my email box seemed so empty these last 2 days.If we can smash whatever firm is responsible for the remaining junk,we just might be on our way to completely spam free mail boxes!

I've seen a drop in incoming spam, but nowhere near as dramatic. More like 30% less than usual.

carol.prime · 2008-11-13, 02:53 PM

that's a very good news. I won't get tired of deleting those unwanted e-mails.

Fonz · 2008-11-13, 03:07 PM

I got like 15 mails from MovieRoom, does that count?

stuveltje · 2008-11-13, 03:24 PM

That's not fair. I only got 10. Seems sort of boring to send that many identical newsletters at once.

I vastly prefer it when a sponsor sends their unedited newsletter, figures out that they stated something incorrectly, sends the corrected newsletter 10 minutes later, then sends another 5 minutes later because they discovered yet another issue. I've been seeing that a lot lately.

winstonDeecash · 2008-11-17, 01:11 AM

Unfortunately i opened an email with japanese characters, been getting lots of similiar shit since then, like 90 a day...

Star Man · 2008-11-17, 02:23 PM

That Cali firm doesn't waste any time getting back on their feet.

|gabbo| CHnEAaP_VIiAnGRiA anyone?
