Roughly speaking the flow of spam doubled in ‘07. 
Whispers are swirling that Yahoo!’s CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) could be compromised up to 35% of the time. This according to “John Wane” a security researcher *read blackhat* from Russia.
Not seeing the main media sources out there picking up the story yet as they usually report these matters a few weeks after the whispers. May be a good time to update that Microsoft Windows email client spam software thingy you folks seem to need.
Listen closely to geek’s suggestions system improvements. The may be telling only just enough to point you in the right direction. Don’t blow them off. This is where the Yahoo!’s in charge of the software may have goofed. They are claiming awareness of the flaw, however, “John” has said that he did contact them about the vulnerability but they ignored him.
Depending on his/her ethics and financial needs — this is the type of knowledge spammers love. A software flaw in software that everyone is ignoring. Shoot - he could probably retire on the money earned selling this to the boogidyboo bad people.
