However, the level of spam is such that I have not yet had the usual acknowledgment from netcraft for the spam emails I forwarded to them from my little honey traps. Each day I have received many of the CNN emails, and each one pointed to a different site - all around the world.
Just sent through 5 more copies on the CNN phishing mail and each one pointed to a site that is not on the phishing list.
So much for someone offering 'free phishing protection' - what a scam if compromised websites are not on the list. I have seen com1.ru in a few mails - looks like they belong to agava.com who sell anti-spam and firewalls.
It is just so easy to harvest the logon details of anyone using cPanel if you have access to the data stream. Where was I reading about the botnet software being sold that leaves a backdoor open to send all the click stream back to mama?

Just a thought for the techies. If someone who is phormed gets harvested by a botnet. The DPI system is protected by only being open to a restricted range of IP addresses.
Now there is a botnet, with a backdoor, passing through the DPI system ....
I do hope that someone employs a security expert very soon.
