They were also used for the retrieval of stolen data. 2016 will also go down in history as the first year that security issues related to the 'Internet-of-Things' not only became mainstream, but turned into a serious enabler of ever larger attacks and a source of many future problems....

Today the Spamhaus Project announces the release of a new service -- the Spamhaus BGP feed (BGPf). The BGPf serves three Spamhaus lists by using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
