BlackFrog to Take up BlueFrog's Flag

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the internet-routes-around-stupidity dept.

Runefox writes "ZDNet UK has a story about a new SPAM defense mechanism called BlackFrog, a response to the demise of Blue Security's BlueFrog. According to the article, the new service is based on a P2P network of clients, called the 'Frognet', which allows the opt-out service to continue functioning even after a server has gone down, making a DDoS attack like that which crippled BlueFrog ineffective against the new service."

    I have no mod points, so I must respond...
    Awww, poor you. No mod points to mod down a point of view you disagree with. Perhaps you could do us all a favour and go uncheck the 'I am willing to help moderate' in your preferences.
