Can I Haz Less Spam? Court Orders 277 Spam-Generating Domains Shut Down -- Via BBC [Quote]

A US judge granted the firm's request to shut down 277 internet domains, which it said were used to "command and control" the so-called Waledac botnet.

A botnet is a network of infected computers under the control of hackers.

The firm said that closing the domains would mean that up to 90,000 PCs would stop receiving orders to send out spam.

And on that note, I think I am hungry.
