I propose a kudos to the Israeli anti-spam company for their efforts be it in vain. However the fact that people arent noticing the obvious solution is beyond my comprehension. Personally i think we should bitch-slap all the idiots who leave their systems unprotected and the wannabe system admins who don't patch or misconfigure networks and servers leaving the internet wide for attack.

Plus the spammer who did this is in organised crime - now lets define organised crime - a group of people colluding to commit illegalities ie gangs , Oil corporations, Big businesses and Governments so lets think a little before we start wagging judgemental fingers at people making money of the ridiculously inept masses - not that i condone said actions of crime.

I believe the legends that are Vanevar Bush and Tim Berners Lee would be appauled that we let idiots run amock on their creations and propse a move to ban all incompetent users from logging onto the internet ... for the safety of others.
