Corporate Networks Harboring Spam Bots

A recent study found that 42% of all computers infected with botnets are on corporate computers. So the spam you get in your inbox may actually be coming from inside your own company, although that's not what they mean when they warn of insider attacks.

That's a pretty big number, but what it doesn't tell you is the length of time the botnet might have been on the corporate LAN. But the simple fact is, getting a botnet onto a corporate system would be golden for a botnet operator, as it would allow them to faster and larger spam attacks where the spam would be originating from a known corporate signature.

That's all the more reason companies who depend on email need to invest in the top rated MPP, from Message Partners, which you can read more about right here.
