A San Jose business reported to be responsible for more than 75 percent of the world’s spam email has been cut off from the Internet and its web site shut down.We are aware our image doesn't match the subject matter exactly but so what! This broken computer doesn't match that well either.
According to a report at the Washington Post, McColo Corp. was a web hosting business with customers made up of “some of the most disreputable cyber-criminal gangs in business today.”
The company’s web site, mccolo.com, was not working on Wednesday.
The Post reported in a blog that Global Crossing in Bermuda and Hurricane Electric in Fremont, two of McColo’s main Internet providers, pulled the plug after getting reports from Security Fix about its activities, some of which were annoying and others outright illegal.
Security Fix studied the company for four months before making the report.

Remember the Spam Trap?
A computer receiving and printing nonstop spam, then shredding it. Good times.
