Host of Internet Spam Groups Is Cut Off

SPAM

I noticed a distinct drop in the amount of SPAM being crammed into my servers, too, and wondered if it was just the quiet before the holiday shit storm. Apparently not - which is a very good thing.

The volume of junk e-mail sent worldwide dropped drastically today after a Web hosting firm identified by the computer security community as a major host of organizations allegedy engaged in spam activity was taken offline, according to security firms that monitor spam distribution online.
