Hi, Sean.
] I don't know what proof MessageLabs has, but they report that spammers
] are breaking into home PCs of unsuspecting users to send junk mail.
What proof? Old proof. :) There are numerous bots, including the
now venerable SDbot, that have this capability. This doesn't count
the plethora of other malware that can also forward spam.
Thanks,
Rob.
