A Big Win For The Bad Guys
Osirisoft and Monkeys.com are pulling out of the Anti-Spam business after massive Distributed Denial of Service attacks shut down their businesses, and pornographic pictures were sent to millions of people with spoofed addresses to smear them.
Both businesses need internet access to do their real business - monkeys.com is a software house, and Osirusoft designs othopedic stuff - and the DDoS attacks from spammers made it impossible to continue.
Compu-Net is also shutting down their public blacklist after some initial attacks and seeing what happened to the others.
This is very bad news for the Internet. The Spammers are taking over.
