But as article specifically mentions sending during the night and registration next morning that does seem to indicate eweek found out about "no whois" but with already registered domain, i.e. see Could they simply be referring to the technique of sending spam at night with a URL to a non-existent domain? When everyone's NOC sees the spam for the first time and tries to get the website shut down, it's not there. Tickets are closed, and many people think someone else already had the site taken down.
I was always interested to see how many people are actually falling for these Spam messages. Did anybody here ever try to register such a domain, after the mass mailing started but before the spammer registers it? Just put a dummy page there and then throw the access.log into a bunch of loganalyzers after a few days. Nils
