What Happened to Blue Security
shadowknot writes "Blue Security has published a detailed account of the attack on their servers perpetrated by spammer "PharmaMaster". The attack included a DDoS attack on the Blue Security operational system and a Black Hole filtering attack on the Blue Security website. From the article: "The first attack was to block worldwide access to Blue Security's corporate website (www.bluesecurity.com) by tampering with the Internet backbone using a technique called "Blackhole Filtering". The Second attack was a DDoS attack on Blue Security's operational system."
Good to know Blue is doing so much to protect us from the spammers.... especially letting an email list be leaked such that it can be used against their community.

This was truly lame and inexcusable - redirecting the attack from themselves to someone else.
To me, the whole think smacks of PR fraud on Blue Security's part. Not buying it at all. It has the smell of fried potted meat.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
I for one hate Blue Security even more, thanks to the crap they pulled. They took down a neutral third party in their conflict, they had full control over who that was. Anti-spammers cause more problems than the spammers do.
