If you’ve ever performed a Google search for odd malicious processes running in the background, or just some basic security issues you had questions about, chances are good that Castle Cops website & forum will come up in the top searches and the answer you were looking for!

According to Spamhaus, CastleCops has been “making cybercriminals unhappy since 2002″ and now they are in need of our help!

Well, I was surprised today to find out that the site is suffering a bit. They need a new server and they have launched a Server Donation Drive Marathon. MICE is on the donors list as of today and I’d like to challenge our readers that have ever been helped by them – and you know they don’t charge! – to kick a few spare dollars their way and help them get back online with a new server (or two).

You can see the drive information here: http://www.castlecops.com/server_marathon.html

The PayPal line is also a link if you want to send a donation via PayPal. Keep in mind that PayPal takes 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. But if you want to donate and not have to think about writing a check, then please do. Otherwise, the information on where to mail checks is included in the link above.

Then you can join MICE’s name on the donors list here: http://wiki.castlecops.com/CastleCops/Server_Donation_Drive

And as you can see there, the list is mighty small. Please, help them out!
