This is the story of how River City Media (RCM), [URL="https://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/spammer/SPM1247/alvin-slocombe-cyber-world-internet-services"]Alvin Slocombe[/URL], and [URL="https://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/spammer/SPM1011/matt-ferris-river-city-media-acetech-usa"]Matt Ferris[/URL], accidentally exposed their entire operation to the public after failing to properly configure their Rsync backups.
The data from this well-known, but slippery spamming operation, [URL="https://mackeeper.com/blog/post/339-spammergate-the-fall-of-an-empire"]was discovered by Chris Vickery[/URL], a security researcher for MacKeeper and shared with Salted Hash, Spamhaus, as well as relevant law enforcement agencies.

I'm sorry, but every time I hear salted hash, I can only think of some kind of delicious cooked potato snack. This is fantastic news regardless, but still. :drool:

I wonder what this means for spam filters.

The more these idiots fuck up the better.
