Sobig Worm Attacking RBL Lists?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the show-me-the-proof dept.

Ubi_NL writes "According to the Register there is a close correlation between the DDOS attacks on a number of anti-spam lists and the presence of the Sobig virus. Now that Monkeys.com is gone, and spamhaus.org is taking heavy blows, are the spammers actually winning the battle by using viruses?"

    How in the holy fsck is this a troll?

    Its true. Blacklists only hurt innocent people who have nothing to do with spam.

    the blacklist owners claim that spam costs people moeny, but what about the money people lose do to inaccurate or overzealous blacklisting?
