December 28, 2007 by Jason

Spammers are always willing to do anything it’s possible to create huge lists of valid email addresses in order to be able to launch new attacks. They are even selling huge lists of emails to other spammers who intend to send unsolicited messages to all the contacts. The latest trend seems to be infecting people’s computers with a worm and steal their email addresses.

So it goes with mailing labels, envelopes, addresses. Old fashioned? Yes. For some. For others, it’s a factory job with Mail Factory.
