Major clamp-down on illegal online drug sites … IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, then you are part of the problem!
Here’s the good news:
We are seeing the beginning of a new chapter in Internet compliance that is the result of months of work. Codenamed Operation Pangea II: sweeps, seizures, raids, as well as the termination of hundreds of core transaction websites have occurred in 26 countries. Illegal web pharmacies advertised in spam, dealing in counterfeit versions of drugs that harm consumers have been terminated in the real world as well as the virtual. As part of this activity, Registrars and ISPs have been warned about the illegal nature of these businesses.

In conjunction with this, KnujOn has initiated a number actions that unfortunately cannot be discussed at this time. However, the goal of all this is to create a permanent change at the Internet provider level and not to merely shut down a number of websites.

This illicit traffic is very harmful as the criminals use current events to target consumer health for fast cash by selling phony flu medicine. Networks of fraudsters use spam and malware to direct Web traffic to phony pharmaceutical sites Full story here: blogs.wsj.com.
Knujon’s Garth Bruen says:
Spam is not about who sent it, it’s about who benefits from it. For a moment forget everything you know about filters, zombie PCs, firewalls, spoofing, viruses, beisyan algorithms, header forgery, botnets, or blacklists. These are all methods for sending spam or preventing spam delivery. None of these explain why spam is sent and for far too long all the attention has been paid to the effects and not the driving force. Under the endless onslaught of junk mail it is easy to feel that the goal of the game is send spam and annoy us all. But this isn’t the goal. The goal of spam is a transaction. Motivation not method.
