Spam blacklist targets Telewest
Almost one million net addresses owned by UK cable firm Telewest have been blacklisted by an anti-spam group.
The Spam Prevention Early Warning System blacklisted the addresses because many of the machines using them have been hijacked by spammers.
The army of remotely-controllable machines have probably been recruited by viruses and worms.
Telewest said it knew about the problem and was working with customers to regain control of their home computers.
