Dangerous Mix of Spammers and Hackers

We've seen this coming, and now that hackers are mixing malicious code with spam, we have to start looking at spam as much more than just an annoyance, but as something that could pose extreme danger to our home and business networks.

In a bid to massively increase infection and impact of malicious viruses and worms,
hackers are teaming with spammers to get the initial trojan or code to a much wider range of machines. Once that is done, malicious code has various impacts such as blocking the link to major virs detection updates, setting your system up as a proxy for sending more spam and other very damaging impacts.

Increasingly, it is going to become necessary to block the spam in the first place, you shut down the malicious cycle right from the beginning.
