There is no doubt that DDoS is an illegal and immoral action. As a security company we are the first to recognize that and live by that rule.
Blue Frog clients do not arbitrarily perform DDoS on spam sites. They complain about specific spam messages received in mailboxes belonging to
our users. Our users exercise their right to complain about the spam they receive. They are merely responding to invitations to the spammer's website.
The Blue Frog enters the site and sends a complaint just as a user would do manually. It does not consume more resources from the site or from its ISP than a user could do manually. Many users have tried sending complaint to spammers at some point requesting to unsubscribe. We merely allow the users to do it in a safe and automated manner.
Our goal is to force spammers to comply with the Do-Not-Intrude Registry - to clean out our users' addresses from their mailing lists. When they do so, they will not receive even one single complaint from community members.
We perform thorough manual (human) validation on the spam messages we act upon, to prevent Joe Jobs and to make sure we minimize any possible impact on third parties.
