Dutch Mass Spammer Loses Grip
from the oops dept
Last week we had a story from the BBC that tracked down porn spammer Martijn Bevelander. It appears that Mr. Bevelander is not doing so well these days. In order to cut his losses after being exposed, he dropped one of his domains, which was very quickly picked up by an anti-spam group, who used it to discover just what sort of emails a spammer receives - including emails from other would-be spammers looking for help.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
