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."

  5. DDoS of SixApart by babanada · · Score: 1, Troll

    What do you mean by "Blue Security isn't out of the woods yet legally and their DDoS of SixApart is far from a closed case." SixApart was attacked by the same people that attacked Blue Security. Blue security changed their DNS to point at their blog. Granted, changing the DNS records under the circumstances was irresponsible; however, your quote is misleading.
