FTC asks for help against spam 'zombies'
Actually, I had mentioned this yesterday, but here is an updated report written by Andy Sullivan for Reuters (and I embedded a link to the FTC announcement):
Home computer users who unwittingly send out spam e-mail should be disconnected from the Internet until their machines are fixed, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday.
The FTC said it would ask 3,000 Internet providers around the globe to make sure that their customers' computers haven't been hijacked by spammers who want to cover their tracks and pass bandwidth costs on to others.
