"Managed email security firm MessageLabs predicted that this convergent attack style will be extensive during 2004 as the techniques of spammers and virus writers overlap.
SoBig infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide, but the initial virus also installed open proxies on compromised machines which were then used to send spam."

"'The success of SoBig has served as an inspiration to cyber-criminals, and demonstrates what can be achieved when they work together,' Mark Sunner, chief technology officer at MessageLabs, said."

Cyber-criminals? Ew.

Hello Readers! If you're still liking what you're reading here, you can help out with the webhosting bill with a donation, if you are so inclined. In addition to my eternal gratitude, you'll have the comfort of knowing I won't be spending it on frivolous things like food or the electric bill or something.

One of the best deals anywhere.
