I remember when this happened against Blue Frog. They were forced to shut their service down due to the DoS attack against them. As soon as the spammers feel threatened by any anti-spam organization they just launch these kind of attacks and shut them down. They seem to easily get away with it. Kind of sad really, there needs to be a fight against spammers on a larger level with Governments and IT corporations getting involved.
I work in McDonalds in the UK. I wont say exactly which town but its a town near Colchester in Essex. We are about to get them installed soon in our store. Apparently you press a button and it brings up the camera images in a control center which is located in Manchester. Then then people at the control center speak saying, get out or something and if they don't comply they then call the police. McDonalds are installing these cameras due to the amount of chavs (teenage delinquents), drunks and random crazy people we have had trouble with. This Monday we have had yet another broken window from chavs. Last month a guy came jump over the counter tipped over stuff in the front threatening to kill staff etc. We get stuff thrown at us all the time, and not just because of an irate customer complaining he is missing an apple pie. Staff have got into fights with chavs before, the list goes on but anyway would these talking cameras actually do anything. If they don't listen to a manager telling them to get out or they will call the police then what chance are they going to listen to a talking camera. Ill just have to wait and see how it goes.
