Stupid Spammers

Security really is an arms race. Just when you think you have the best lock ever, someone figures out how to pick it.

So now, spammers have figured out how to automatically sign up for Gmail. So they'll have lots of gmail accounts to send spam from.

I'm sure Google has already shut down the particular place doing it, but damn. Like cockroaches, they'll just move to another server. Sad that the 1% of people who actually respond to spammers fund such ingenuity. It used to take a much higher rate of return to scam the population. And you had to leave the house.
