Rustock Massive Email Spam Botnet Stopped

[Don McKenzie]

A few days ago, the Rustock Massive Email Spam Botnet Stopped

By late last year, this Botnet, reportedly produced 47% of all Spam generated world wide.

Apparently the servers have been turned off, and the cause has been dropped, due to active Spam killer groups.
