Lycos Europe denies attack on zombie army

by admin on December 2nd, 2004

News.com reports that Internet portal Lycos Europe has denied that its “Make love not spam” Web site was defaced by hackers last night.

The company said that an e-mail that contained an apparent mirror image of the Web site being hacked was a hoax generated by spammers.

“This is a hoax,” said Malte Pollmann, director of communications services for Lycos Europe. “We have obviously reached our goal and are getting to the spammers. On our servers, we don’t have any logs of an attack. No one was able to verify that.”
