KnujOn.com collected spam samples from the public, not to build better filters or blacklists, but rather to use them for illicit site termination, to test the Internet's policy infrastructure, and gather important statistics. Their general goal was to target advertised illicit transaction sites and hopefully take the financial incentive out of the spam cycle. |
