Biggest Spam Shut Down
McColo, the now infamous web hosting company that was shut down earlier this month after it was proven beyond reasonable doubt that it was responsible for about three quarters of the entire planets internet spam! McColo’s internet back bone, two ISP’s ended their partnership with them when they were confronted with this proof, showing them that McColo had aliased with cyber criminals and botnets.
It seems as though McColo was hosting a monstrous 80% of the spam that filled your inbox. Since it was closed down the internet a full two weeks of better traffic, with much less congestion due to the lack of spam. However, this has been sadly short lived as these spammers have managed to find new service providers to continue their plague on the internet society.
Srizbi, which is a botnet responsible for about half of the world’s spam, has recently been revived and Symantec officials said that spam resurgence is already at 37% and signs show that the resurgence will continue to rise. Another two botnets have been also recently revived, namely Asprox and Rustock. Botnet Cutwail wasn’t part of McColo, so it was never shut down, yet Mega-D is also rising.
The company Marshal predicted that there will be a spike regarding fresh spam, until the spammers will reconnect with the infected computers. Spam will be expected to climb back to its initial rates. Even though the shutting down of McColo was a breakthrough in the fight against spam, small businesses that don’t have a strong or sufficiently well-funded IT department are the easiest targets for marlware, spyware, spamming and viruses.
