So I've been gettin' spammed by random e-mails in my hotmail account for about a month now and today I got bored and decided to do something about it. Recalling the very... strange... random e-mails my Jew buddy got a few years back I grabbed the IP from the address and traced them back to Inktomi Corp in Sunnyvale, CA. They got bought out by Yahoo! a few years back and they specialize in internet software. And spiders. Usually Yahoo! sends out "crawlers" into internet forums and just watch what people talk about and find ways into your computer. Works the same way the supposed Nostradamas-type search engine works I believe. Anyways, so now they started using e-mails.

I was getting e-mails by random women with titles like "read"and "view" with a body that had a link to god knows what. since the senders were actually alive this time around I went to the IPs and located them all. INKT even did a good job setting up their phone number as the number for a different company. Ohhhh. Oh yeah, and Iktomi is a jester-spider God. Notice how just the "n" is missing. Oh so funny.

Yahoo! gives your personal information out to the public, which would explain all the spam you're getting...you should sign up for Gmail - it's much better and I haven't received a single piece of junk mail since I started using it!
