*phew*

Label it NSFW if it has bewbs etc...

I would hardly qualify that not safe for work... but then I guess if you have some kind of security system that alerts the CIA every time you visit a website with the word "p.o.r.n" in it then... fair enough. I've never been at a work which had casual internet access.

It's just a about an addon that blocks your cookies/history etc while activated if you don't want people basically riling through your shit later to see what you've been up to nicknamed "pr0n mode"... as that i guess would be the most common use for it.

Ah... that stuff is built in to newer browsers.

any thing where one of the first word in your browser reads porn should be at least tagged with NSFW

Remember some of us work for corporate giants, which are more **** about internet usage than the CIA ><

Edited.

RICO! Don't use the world "an*l"!

The correct term is "Buttal"

Still, sending spam is expensive. It would cost upwards of $25,000 to send 350 million messages, which is too much to likely make a profit on the conversion rate observed.

I... what?

No it's not - that's precisely why spam is srs bsnss... the cost is effectively nothing.

What costs are there involved in spamming people with links to real websites?

Bandwidth for email: None. You're using a botnet, maybe open relay SMTP servers/hacked machines.

Bandwidth for the site: None. You can host that - as reliably as a solid host - on the botnet machines too. It's actually a really impressive feat of technology, it's just a shame it's used for evil, and not good.

Site domain name: 10 bucks a year, maybe.

Site design/copy writing: Hahahahahahahaha. I crack me up.

Throw into the mix the fact that a lot of these assholes (buttholes?) don't even have any products to sell, but are rather more interested in obtaining the card details of people dumb enough to respond to spam and you can understand why I'm bewildered as to how the article asserts they have "tight margins".

I'm going to chalk it up to poor journalism in this case, but it's equally possible that the people doing the research just don't understand the business behind what they're researching.

Edit:
Right, they're making the assumption that it's a third party with a legitimate product who is paying the botnet herders to send spam.

They then surmise that this wouldn't be a cost effective solution, so it's probably not what's happening.

Well, duh.

Wow. Just wow. So you guys all heard of the case where this lady created a fake profile on myspace, pretended to be a teenage boy, and terrorized a neighbor's daughter so badly that the poor girl killed herself, right? It turns out that technically she cannot be charged with murder, so federal prosecuters are trying to charge her with hacking, because she by falsifying her identity she violated Myspace's ToS.

The judge ruled, however, that the suicide cannot be introduced to the jury, because it would be prejudicial:

Good luck trying to send someone to jail for creating a fake MySpace account...

Linking a civil matter (ToS) to a criminal case (hacking) is by far one of the stupidest things I've heard of.

She won't go to prison, or even get a guilty verdict in this case, as it should be.

However it's pretty likely, I imagine, that the victim's family will sue her and that'll be a win for them.

In the meantime, all this hacking crap is just tying up criminal courts which could be used for real cases - like prosecuting the guy who used common knowledge to reset Palin's yahoo password

Come on, guys, don't eating crayons:
