More on the Spam Factory Shut Down

I've been thinking about the case of MyColo Corp., which got shut down, and about 2/3 of all spam stopped.

Think about this: one server farm, operated by one bad actor, was, at least in the short term, responsible for the majority of the spam on the internet.

In the world of internet spam, phishing, and other bits of the dark side, a remarkably small number of people, possibly fewer in number than the fingers on Rahm Emanuel's hand, are responsible for most of it.

This problem is thus more manageable than I would have thought.
