#1 For the last 2 weeks I have been getting a torrent of spam through my hotmail accounts, 6+ copies each of the same stupid stuff. In the last 2 days, it has nearly stopped, so I suspect it's related. From another article on this: ""Previous experience has taught us that these botnet takedowns are short lived," said Hay at M86 Security Labs. "Disabling control servers does not incapacitate the people behind the botnet. It is highly likely they'll be back before long with new control servers, and bots to do their spamming. In the meantime, we can enjoy a few days with less spam about.""
