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.""
gross!
Yea! Let's escalate petty crimes to the point that speeding 5 miles over the speed limit has a two year jail term! I think paying bills late should have 90 days in rehab. Sending a check out before you actually have the money in the bank should get 5 to 10 years. We KNOW these things actually bring our society down. We should support absolutism and zero tolerance and eliminate ALL offenders, regardless of whether the offense actually caused any physical damage or not. We all know Land O' Lakes is one of the biggest criminal corporations out there. Heck they make REAL butter! How much does that shorten my life span! Perhaps we should go after the suppliers of the stuff too! Death to all cows!
This fantasy that escalation of penalties has any real effect of the what people do is a serious delusion. We prove it to oursleves everyday and yet we refuse to believe the facts that we see in front of us. Incarceration, death, whatever you propose as a penelty is not going to stop the problem. Penelties after the fact that the act has been committed doesn't do ANYTHING. If they did, then our prison population would be going down as we write more laws and penalties along with them, not skyrocketing up as it factually is. Heck we house more of our own population in prisons than any other country in the world. We actually have 30% of the world's prison population here in the US. It doesn't work, it won't ever work, it's stupid to continue going down that road and is extremely frustrating to watch us continue to do it.
