Rack one up for the good guys as McColo corp gets shut down (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2008/11/spam_volumes_drop_by_23_after.html). The company, having been identified as the source of over 75% of spam traffic worldwide was shutdown tuesday, the resulting decline in spam had many IT admins scratching their heads. Don't expect it will last though as the spam monkeys will find a new host quick.

We at TechwareLabs believe that spammers should all be placed in an iron cage match with a "no holds barred" policy in a competition to use a single PC. I for one would gladly pony up the cash for that pay per view.
