The spammers behind last year’s destruction of Blue Security are back with a vengeance, using a variant of the ‘Storm Worm’ malware to launch a sustained distributed denial-of-service attack against three anti-spam services. The ongoing attacks successfully shut down the Web servers that power the Spamhaus Project.

10.23Ugh Spam…
One of my emails has been getting with a lot of spam lately, and all of them have a .zip file. Do they really expect me to open these? Do these spammers actually think I’m stupid enough to open one of these zips? I guess they do seeing as I’m getting 6 an hour. I wish spammers would realise that sending more spam just makes people read it less and less. I hope one days the internet will be spam free but we know that will never happen.
