Privacy, Security, Encryption McColo Corp, an internet service provider that has been confirmed to be the provider of choice to a rogue's gallery of unsavory clients, has been cut off by its backbone providers, cutting the world's total volume of spam by as much as 75%. Sadly, these people will undoubtedly be able to find other service eventually. But enjoy the respite while it lasts.

This is valuable information. When an ISP crosses the 75% of world spam line, someone notices and shuts them down. In the future, spamming ISPs should take care to remain at 74% or below.
