HostExploit.com published a research report compiled by an group of mostly anonymous researchers. The report blames the proliferation of spam on loose regulating by Internet providers. Hurricane Electric Internet Services and Global Crossing Ltd., both mentionned in the report, took immediate measures to limit the activity of servers from McColo Corp, a company renting servers and reportedly allowing its customers to control vast arrays of hijacked computers, send spam and cash payments for fake anti-virus software.
As a consequence, a drop of 2/3 in Spam traffic has been observed. That is until spammers move to new ill-regulated rented servers.
