Can't Stop the Bots
    
		Business security company MessageLabs has an interesting note  about spam -- despite shutting down a major botnet, spam continues to increase.  In fact, some 25 percent of all spam is currently coming from one source: the  Grum botnet.
Another interesting findingĀ   is that the size of spam messages are shrinking. That's bad news because  they are smaller, each botnet can send out more. Dang!
We have the Can-Spam Act and spammers have been shut down  and prosecuted, but nothing seems to be able to stop this scourge. How should  we hunt down spammers and what should we do if we find them? Sentences and  punishments welcome at [email protected].
