Authorities down servers of third-largest spam botnet

Authorities in three countries have taken down a half-dozen command-and-control servers for the Grum botnet. The botnet is responsible for more than 17 percent of the world’s spam, a researcher says.

Microsoft reported this month seeing spam sent from Android devices spewing from Yahoo email servers.”]
