Tracking Harvesters/Spammers

How many layers from harvester to spammer?

Author: A.Vesely (1 Oct 13 10:01am)

Some spammers appear to be really surprised when they receive spam reports. Even if they sent to spamtraps, they insist that they are not spammers, and hold they obtained a legitimate public list of company addresses from a "respectable" source. So I guess their supply chain must have grown from the million-email-CD (which used to work like simple chain mail as the next buyer directly turned into a seller) into something that involves some sophisticated social engineering.

Is there a blog on your findings? Where can I learn more about your activity?

Thanks
