Thanks to Migmaf, you could be serving porn (unintentionally, that is)

Hacking computers for spamming is nothing new, but the stakes are getting a little higher as a new scheme uses unsuspecting hosts to serve up porn. Essentially what we have are porn spammers who are hacking machines via a trojan app to host the actual porn for use in attracting new clients. They then earn money from referral fees. It's also said that this same scheme is being used to perpetuate PayPal scams. With a network of hacked machines, the criminals in question can rotate through the machines to make detection much more difficult, while spreading out the bandwidth hit to a level that's probably difficult to detect. Still, there's a flaw in the ring.
