A couple of good friends and colleagues of mine, Rick Wesson and Adam Waters at Support Intelligence up the street a few miles in San Francisco, have begun publicizing some highly visible botnet problems exposed via the spambot-generated e-mails that hosts within their networks have generated.

The lastest in their series of exposés on their blog features AFLAC. In previous posts, they have featured botnet problems in AIG, Thomson, and 3M.

More detail can found here.

Keep up the good work, Rick and Adam.
