Actually, in the case of the wired article (removeform.com), it seems
to be 
connected to a site in Florida.  I asked my programmer
(gabor () sentex net) 
to decode the obfuscated java script/page that is served up by one of
the 
zombies (On FreeBSD fetch -B 18192 -o danger.html 
http://www.removeform.com/d - I got it from 207.5.215.72  at the
time).  I 
have attached it as a zip file with its contents. You will note that
the 
form post goes back to

form action="http://207.36.47.68/cgi-bin/addinfo.cgi";

This appears to be a rather prolific spammer. At first I thought they
were affiliated with www.skynetweb.com because they have the same
address, including suite number, but it now appears that they are really
affiliated with these guys:
