Spammers strike back

An ars technica article reports that spammers are launching DOS attacks (using the ever so reliable botnet) against anti-spam/scam sites and services. This is hardly surprising. Last year an anti-spam company, Blue Security was DDOSed out of business by spammers getting a taste of their own medicine. I’m surprised that with the botnets at their disposal and the ability to DOS rather effectively at any time, the spammers haven’t done this sooner.

On another note… Happy Birthday to Mew!
