Spammers' Upend DNS

Saint Aardvark writes "eWeek reports on the latest trick of spammers: getting around DNS-based lookups. By registering a domain *after* the spam goes out advertising it, they can get around blacklists. However, that causes all sorts of problems for ISPs and anti-spam services. Paul Judge, CTO at Ciphertrust, says "Even in large enterprises, it's becoming very common to see a large spam load cripple the DNS infrastructure.""

Slashdot writers (and editors) are still a lot worse than spammers, but their punctuation has some room for improvement.

I'm sorry but I do not think that making prison something like a Nazi work camp will lower crime. Most people do not think that they will be caught when committing a crime. If you want something to rehabilitate criminals do not send them to "criminal school". Instead it might be a nice idea to legalize LSD-imprinting reversal research started by Timothy Leary. He had an over 80% success rate before the US government stepped in and stopped his criminal actions....

(l)users??? Perhaps that is you.

I think it's really sad to refer to Users as Losers. It's very disrespectful and ignores that fact that just because you have to use a computer does not mean that you should have to be a computer professional and monitor Slashdot 24/7.
