Re: Its not just Spam and DDOS anymore (was Re: OT: Re: User negligence?)

On the subject of host security issues and spam, try doing a search of the
Usenet archive for '"Net Access Corporation" spam'. You get 328 results.
And those are just the spams which people have traced to NAC, never mind the
millions of untraced ones....

Yep. No problem, I think we've cleared it up.

I posted the dots, but failed to explicitly connect them.
People have been talking about DDOS, spammers and the underground economy.
Folks, its not underground any more. The criminals are using trojans
to steal real money from real people now.
Firewalls can't stop it, ISPs can't stop it. Its a *HOST* security issue.
For most home users the choices are get Microsoft to fix its software, or
buy a Macintosh (hide Unix under the hood). For an extra $20 Dell will
pre-configure the system security settings for business purchasers; but
home users are still on their own.
