Blue Frog dropped out of the war against spammers citing that “It’s clear to us that [quitting] would be the only thing to prevent a full-scale cyber-war that we just don’t have the authority to start,” Reshef said. “Our users never signed up for this kind of thing.” The article also states that “tens of thousands of hijacked computers [were used to flood] Blue Security”. I would bet that all ten thousand ran Windows which were installed from pirated copies. Remember when Microsoft decided to drop support of updates to those “pirates”? Thanks for the spam MS. Seriously.
UPDATE: 20060527 Black Frog is rising up in Blues place. Source code donated.
