Pfizer PCs Used for Viagra Spam Forwarding
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
Viagra is a Pfizer product, so perhaps they’re not too upset about the spamming. Naah. PCs at Pfizer have been hijacked by trojans, which are using them to forward Viagra spam. What can you say? Hilarious.
At least 138 of Pfizer’s IP addresses are being used to send the spam after being loaded with Trojan software, it emerged this week. Aside from Viagra, the spam advertises penis-enlargement drugs, fake Rolexes and shares, according to botnet-tracking company Support Intelligence, which said that those IP addresses have now been blacklisted by anti-spam companies.
Support Intelligence has saved 600 sample spam emails over the past six months, and contacted Pfizer about the problem. But Pfizer has not cleared the problem up, Support Intelligence’s chief executive Paul Wesson told Wired.com on Wednesday. Source: ZDNet UK
We Say: My question would be, since these PCs were infected, have sales gone up?

[…] We Say: When you see companies like Pfizer failing to secure their PCs, so that they are used for spamming, it’s no wonder we have such statistics. What’s worse than email spam, though, is text message spam - because, short of an unlimited SMS option on your cell phone account, you’re essentially paying for such spam.

Pfizer has pluses and negatives in that, negs looking foolish, but pluses in free advertising.
