Security Incidents: RE: Strange Windows behavior / Spamming customers

["Thompson, Jimi" <JimiT () mail cox smu edu>]

phenomenon (spammers + hackers), but they've used these sites to serve up
porn in a distributed manner, collecting rather high rates for hosting
"adult" sites.  So much for the "always on" connection......
