[News] ~320,000,000 Windows PCs Serve Us Backscatter Floods

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

100 e-mail bouncebacks? You've been backscattered.

,----[ Quote ]
| The bounceback e-mail messages come in at a trickle, maybe one or two every 
| hour. The subject lines are disquieting: "Cyails, Vygara nad 
| Levytar," "UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL, apparently from you."  
| 
| You eye your computer screen; you're nervous. What's going on ? Have you been 
| hacked? Are you some kind of zombie botnet spammer?
