FBI Raids Southern California Internet Porn Companies - GoFuckYourself.com

It's about hackers taking over thousands of computers to spam and do illegal things.

All the companies raided are affiliated. They do similar things.

These companies are not all innocent victims here. These raids will mean bad news for some.

It's related to the New York Times article on the matter July 11, 2003.

From the NYTimes.com: More than thousand unsuspecting Internet users around world have recently had their computers hijacked by hackers, who computer security experts say are using them for pornographic Web sites; hijacked computers are secretly loaded with software that makes them send explicit Web pages advertising pornographic sites and offer to sign visitors up as customers; activity is likely to go unnoticed unless owner of hijacked computer is technologically sophisticated; independent computer researcher Richard M Smith says ring can be traced to Russian senders of spam, or unwanted commercial e-mail; diagram; photo (M) More than a thousand unsuspecting Internet users around the world have recently had their computers hijacked by hackers, who computer security experts say are using them for pornographic Web sites.

The hijacked computers, which are chosen by the hackers apparently because they have high-speed connections to the Internet, are secretly loaded with software that makes them send explicit Web pages advertising pornographic sites and offer to sign visitors up as customers.

Interesting... goes to the principle that all these so called spam prevention organizations are just building one giant remove list for themselves...

Even more revealing is that Bevelander teamed up with Brian Westby, who had to appear for a U.S. District Court in April for running an allegedly illegal spam operation that used deceptively bland subject lines, false return addresses and empty "reply-to" links to expose internet users, including children, to sexually explicit material. Westby, 23, was on the board of MAPS until May this year.

I wonder if there would be the same sort of action taken if the hijackers were hijacking computers to send people overhyped stock buys? Or mortgage companies? Or septic tank cleaning services?
