BT Outsources Spam to Sun?

So here I am, sitting down going through my email, when I spot a bit of spam that didn't get filtered in the same way hundreds of other items do every day. This item came directly from Sun's network (btmx1.sun.com) - not normally a place where I'd expect to get spam from. Upon further examination, it looks like the source machine is 150.143.60.6 - an address owned by "Syntegra (USA), Inc." - who are (as a quick trip to http://www.syntegra.com/ will tell you) BT. What's more embarrasing for Sun is that it looks to have come from a Windows machine... something that I thought was highly discouraged within Sun.

Anyway, enough of my ranting, here's the email:

Looks like a trojanned Windows machine; for now, the bad guys are just exploiting it to send spam.

I'm still waiting for them to realise that there's lots of sensitive information in reach of these trojanned Windows machines, and abuse that...

Exactly... as the machine looks to be owned by BT's Professional Services people, they're probably exposing their customers also! Ho Hum!
