Re: Messenger Spam on 1026 - Bad News Kids

For an example of performance, to send a spam message via Net Send it might take a couple of seconds to send a message, but by using this new technique you can send several thousands of messages per second given the availability of bandwidth and CPU. So we are talking many orders of magnitude of performance increase by using this new method and hence why this traffic is increasing on suspected Services.exe ports as spammers let lose with a much faster gatling gun, as they are no longer limited by performance factors they do not control as with using Net Send.
