Kornet cutting off a spammer?? Does this mean the apocolypse is near??

Thank you for your recent report to abuse@uk.easynet.net concerning the
above abuse incident.

This incident arose as a result of a machine on our customer's network
having become compromised by a Trojan horse program, which then allowed
unscrupulous bulk emailers to install an insecure open proxy server on
the machine in question, without our customer's knowledge, authorisation
or permission.

More information on open proxy servers and their misuse to send
Unsolicited Bulk Email is available at:

More information on Trojan horse programs designed to facilitate the
transmission of Unsolicited Bulk Email is available at:

Our customer has been contacted, and the machine concerned has been
removed from the easynet network whilst it is being rebuilt and
secured.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this incident may
have caused.

Kind regards

Anthony Edwards

Jeez..

Do you know how long an unprotected Windows PC lasts when directly connected to the internet?

I think the last analysis said 13 minutes before some virus or worm or trojan hits it.

Given that information, I feel that anyone who connects a windows Pc to the internet WITHOUT taking precautions deserves everything they get.
