RE: [Asrg] News Article - FTC targeting open relays

[Paul Judge <paul.judge@ciphertrust.com>]

Hey Steve,

Can you provide a little more information about your observations? For

source? Over what timeframe was this data observed? How do you determine if
a proxy is on a trojan or installed by the machine's owner?

Thanks
