Spam Affiliate Program Spamit.com to Close
Summary: Spamit, an affiliate program that paid spammers to promote counterfeit pharmacy sites, announced it would close on October 1, 2010, citing increased public attention to the program. Administrators said all profit would be paid normally and told affiliates to move their traffic to other programs before that date.
What you should know: Researchers believe Spamit affiliates managed botnets including Storm and Waledec, and that Spamit is a sibling of the larger Glavmed program, so the closure may scatter operators rather than end the activity.
