Soon you'll never be able to track a spammer thanks to a group of ingenious "spackers".

Of note: the article uses a spammer hosted by rackshack.net to illustrate how the process cloaks...

The beauty of invisible hosting, according to Tubul, a representative of the Polish group who would not provide his full name, is that the untraceable site can even be located on servers operated by major Web hosting firms with tough antispam policies.

When asked on an online chat for a demonstration of the stealth hosting service, Tubul provided the address of a website selling generic Viagra and other drugs.

"Try to find the real IP," he said. "This host is in rackshack.net, the most antispam ISP."

A traceroute to the site indicated that it was being hosted on a computer apparently using cable modem service from Comcast.

"Fake," said Tubul.

Enjoy.

Not suprised ...
:/

and who was it that said that the spammers were responsible for the recent trojans floating around?? That person obviously was correct all along.

I guess this means hosts will have to be more proactive in their anti-spam monitoring.

I know we paid alot of money for a program called GFI Mail Essentials... it does wonders.

SPEWS should just go ahead and blacklist *.*.*.* and get it over with.

*sigh* thanks to spammers, there is now more things for hosts to take care of...
