Well, I'll be dammed myself ... same here.

There was an article last Monday in one of the CDNET
pubs outlining how over the past 4 weeks the amount
of spam traffic had increased something like 400%.
Seems there was some finger pointing at those M$ systems
being under BOT control that was leading to all of the
flooding going on - and not just 98/ME versions...

Maybe someone finally busted those whom were controlling
those systems ?
