Virus? Hacked? You sure?

Why is everyone automatically assuming that these are hacked boxes? i mean, dont you think if 5 ip's can create 45k complaints, those must be some major home-pc's eh?

i would imagine that you will find spammers behind those ip's... not dolts that open attachemtns...

im not saying that it dosent happen but dont be too quick to assume one way or another thats all

·Comcast

They are just relays that hide the spammers true location. The spammers merely send all of the spam through the comcast boxes .

No spammer would last more than 5 minutes if he sent spam directly from a computer to a mail server.
