Yet Another High Tech Company With Spambots: Intel

Rick and Adam:

Question: Do bots affect high tech companies too? Answer: Yes, even high tech companies fall prey to these crimes. Today we have Intel squirting out botspam with the best of 'em, in a very recent infection somewhere on their network.

A trio of IP addresses, all with no reverse DNS, have been firing off stock pump and dump, viagra, and home loan spam the past few days - the first of this run being spotted on April 29th.

All are routed via origin AS 4983 INTEL-SC-AS - Intel Corporation - the first being domestic, and the later two routing to approximately Haifa, Israel.
