Leader While spammers have control of their own network - which is unquestionably more sizeable than Lycos' own grid effort - they will use it. In the least surprising news of the week we reported this morning that Lycos has been hit with what looks like...
[01 Dec 2004]
Comment It represents a coming full circle for the grid model or at least an ironic evolution of sorts. Seen originally as a way for academic research to garner vast power, grid computing has become a principle used and abused by the cyber-criminals.
[30 Nov 2004]
