Stock spammers get rich quick

Stick a fork in it, the Internet is done...: You know, there was a time when I thought the Government would destroy the internet. They still have time, and I have faith in them, but the Spammers, Spyware authors and virus writers are quickly doing the job for them.

I mean, we've had to secure things to the point where even rightful users can't access the networks like they need to. Email has become fundamentally useless. Virus writers are having family fued's out there, causing 1,237 different varients of the same virus to hit in a month's span, and don't even get me started on Spy/Adware (who I personally feel are lower-than-life scumbags even worse than the spammers).

It's getting very close to time to pull the damned plug...; Posted by: BitTwiddler Posted on: 04/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
