Support Intelligence rolls on in their effort to expose troubling
spambot activity in major corporations' networks....

[snip]

We have been watching the Nationwide Insurance Network for a few months
now, and have been impressed with the spam/ham ratio. Its spammyness
something like 100:1 in spam to ham. We have collected some 1,857 SPAM from
6 IP addresses on Nationwide's Network.

The kinds of spam we got from Nationwide varied from Pharmacy spam
advocating various Erectile Dysfunctions drugs, Rolex watches, graphic
pornography, mortgage loans, weight loss and stock pump-n-dump.

The main question is if any of Nationwide's consumer data was compromised.
