Nope, looks like they're used for blog spam now too. At least it looks that way from my MT logs, as I look at all the stuff that MT-Blacklist has blocked. (Mmmmm, MT-blacklist goodness. Regardless of whatever happens with MT 3.x's license, code, or fortune cookies, there's no way in hell I'm switching from the MT2.661 setup I have now if there's no blacklist equivalent for it) Dunno whether they're generic web proxies, or blog-spam-specific things. Since the wave hit more than a week ago it's tough to tell for sure, since dynamic IP addresses for dialup machines and whatnot'll...

Zombie trick expected to send spam
sky-high 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
Spam levels are about to skyrocket, according to experts who warned this week that spammers have developed a new way of delivering their wares. According to the SpamHaus Project—a U.K.-based antispam compiler of blacklists that block 8 billion messages a day—a new piece of malicious software has been created that takes over a PC. This “zombie” computer is then used to send spam via the mail server of that PC’s Internet service provider. This means…

Anti-Spam Legislation Makes Spam More
Malicious 04/29/2004 01:28 PM
Aren't unintended consequences wonderful? Now that anti-spam legislation is becoming popular, one result is that spammers aren't wasting time with just spamming mortgage offers and ways to buy Viagra. Instead, now that they realize they're definitely on illegal ground, they're moving more towards malicious attack spam, including phishing attacks and trojan horse attacks. In other words, if they're going to break the law with spam, they figure they might as well go all out.

Report from the spam/anti-spam summit

Report from the spam/anti-spam summit 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
Danny O'Brien has written up one of the first summits between spammers and spam-fighters for the Guardian. It's a great piece.

Surprisingly, no such shootings occur. It's oddly intimate, watching the spammers and the anti-spammers mill around each other like this. It feels like a temporary ceasefire in a vicious war that to most of us seems to be a stalemate...

Over the past year, though, a series of meetings arranged by a trusted figure in the American anti-spam community, Anne Mitchell, have been slowly bringing the two sides together. These mini-conferences, held under the banner of the Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy, have mostly been between the highest-ranking ISPs - MSN, AOL - and commercial email marketers of the most squeaky clean kind. Initially in secret, these days the meetings are more public.

Spam vs. Anti-Spam: the war escalates! 06/22/2004 02:47 AM
Every time someone introduces a new anti-spam technique, some wily spammer devises a workaround. This myriad of actions and reactions is going to tie our e-mail system in knots. The only real solution to unsolicited mail is to eliminate the problem altogether by stopping spam at the source. To this end, the folks at ImagineNation have proposed an eMstamp solution and have set out to publicly answer the many questions that the proposal has raised. [PRWEB Jun 22, 2004]
