A massive spam spike is predicted, and one expert says that 'it's the beginning of the email meltdown'.
Spam levels are about to skyrocket, according to experts who warned this week that spammers have developed a new way of delivering their wares.
According to SpamHaus, an anti-spam organisation which compiles blacklists blocking eight billion messages a day, a new piece of malware has been created that takes over a PC and then uses it to send spam via the mail server of that PC's Internet service provider. This means the spam appears to come from the ISP, making it very hard for an anti-spam blacklist to block it.
