Spam Kings -- By Brian McWilliams

Read Spam Kings from "Safari Tech Books Online" today.

Unlike what I expected the book wasn't about how the spamming is analyzed in technical sense, but it's more of a history book on big spammers.

List of a few spammers, where they rooted from, and how they got caught, and what some victims have expeirenced, and so forth.

It was quiet a novelty reading, but not so nice a reading for online fine-print reading materials. Straining my eyes. Also for short-chapter book, it was a bit confusing who's spammer and who's anti-spammer, and who's hacker catching spammers, and so forth.

But it was an interesting reading enough. I didn't know Hawke began as Nazi-worshiper before he turned into a spammer, and also I didn't know much of other personal stories of other spammers & their reaction upon being hacked.
I also didn't know of a lady who got over 10,000 spam mail in her inbox in 2 days. I thought my inbox was flooded w/ mails both ham & spam. I don't even have a thousand per day, and many of them are from mailinglist not spam.
Yike~~~

Now, I gotta search a bit more technical aspect of spam/anti-spam reading materials.
