The sad thing is how easy this shit is to do. As someone with a less than stellar internet past, I've served warez on mIRC networks. Basically all this porn ring has done is scan then root a large number of computers to send out these email/popup spam-attacks and reap some benefit. It's no different than scanning then rooting a box for a warez net, and they're using far less bandwidth and hard-drive space than an XDCC bot or FTP site runs for one of those nets. I don't know how someone could have 80 gigs of a box magically disappear and not notice, then turn around when their net connections get warned for exceeding bandwidth and STILL fail to notice. Technically it's not hard to do what these fellas have done, it just takes time and patience.
