Well that didn’t take long …

Less than a day after the announcement that there was a downward trend in spam because of the arrest and freezing of the accounts of Shane Atkinson, his brother Lance Atkinson and Roland Smits we get word that a botnet than was dormant for 9 month is now waking up.

See I told you that the vacuum created by the arrest of the Atkinson team would be filled shortly!
