Terry Zink: Spam is solved, we can all go home now
“…to summarize, a team of researchers downloaded and installed some software that flips a computer into a botnet. This bot then started spewing out spam and the team was able to capture the spam, analyze, and then write spam rules in order to 100% target the spam run.
All you have to do is download the malware, capture the spam traffic, and then use the traffic to build an antispam corpus of rules. In other words, it’s the next step in doing what antispam vendors have been doing since 2002.”
