The lesson to be learned, Reshef said, is that large ISPs and governments need to recognize that spammers are connected to criminal syndicates and that they, not a small startup, are the only ones who can shut down these networks.

Is this just more Wired sensationalism, or is it really true? To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if spammers are connected to criminal syndicates. Who else would risk their reputation to advertise via spam, and who else would have access to large quantities of cheap drugs?

In any case, too bad for Blue Security. I’d love to see the government step in to shut down spammers.
