I get criminals take Christmas off too lol
Since their victims have usually maxed out their credit cards
around that time of the year the pickings get slim.
Actually I think the real reason is that it's not the spammers but
rather the mules that take the time off. Lots of compromised
desktop PC's out there in corporations are shut off and idling
while their users take vacation days.
