Dan Goodin of The Register wrote an excellent article on bots operating on corporate networks. The article entitled Bots inside the Perimeter features data collected from the Support Intelligence network and highlights distinct cases of bot spam flowing out of Oracle, HP, Best Buy, and others.

In the case of Oracle, the botspam was actually a phishing attack on Paypal. And with Best Buy the amount of spam pouring out its scuppers was in the thousands per week.

Houston, we have a problem.
