It is so easy to accidentally leave your script-kiddy coded PHP website
open to spammers and worse that it ain't funny. Anyone know how simple
it is to relay spam through an email-enabled PHP website? It happens all
the time. If you don't know what I am talking about you SHOULD NOT be
coding websites.

It is so easy to market and sell a crap operating system that we
now have 100's of MILLIONS of zombie Windows boxes on the Internet
that are responsible for an estimated 80% of the SPAM we receive.
Compromised armies of Windows hellholes are now a commodity worth
big bucks in criminal circles.

cheers
