Exclamation Botnets pushing up spam loads

Over four-fifths of junk messages come from infected machines.

Botnet-controlled PCs are responsible for 83 per cent of all spam messages, according to the latest figures from MessageLabs.

The security firm said in a recent report that, despite efforts to shut down service providers notorious for hosting shady operations, spam vendors are continuing to send out huge loads of junk mail via botnet-infected systems.
