Anti-Spammers DDoSed Out Of Existence

Anonumous Coward writes "Not one, but two anti-spam services announced their closure yesterday due to DDoS attacks, massive Joe jobs, threats, and the total lack of interest shown by law enforcement. monkeys.com pulled the plug at midnight with an announcement that makes you think of a suicide note. Short time later compu.net went the very same way. So, when will we see a distributed RBL that can stand up to distributed attacks?"

DOS is out of existence?

The poor guy gets DDoS'd, and then we end up Slashdotting his "suicide note"!!

This guy just can't catch a break.

Re:massive Joe jobs?

In order to deal with the anger part, I spend my spare time writing a novel in which a spammer is murdered. It's not half bad.

I'm half-wondering how you're going to work that out. My first thought was "murder mystery" but I found myself thinking that it would wind up something like this:

"And then I found him like this, strangled by several dozen feet of Ethernet cable, stabbed at least twenty-seven times, shot at least forty-three times, and then buried under several thousand printed copies of an e-mail," a rather distraught neighbor told the detective.

"Hmm... it would appear to be an e-mail that offers - to enlarge your, er, member. Wait a minute - I think I can almost recognize what's left of his face. Yes, this is the notorious spammer I-Like-Watching-Kittens-And-Puppys-Die," the police detective responded, pushing pages away from the body's face.

"Oh. Well, I guess that's about it then."

"Wait, we have a mad murder around! Forty-plus shots? You'd have to reload multiple times to do that. We should do something!"

"Yeah, you're right. His body'll start to smell soon."

"I'll call the mortician."

"I guess that's it then."

"Yup."

"Yup."

"I better get the mortician over hear. You're sure you're going to be all right?"

"Of course - I should be down at least twenty spams!"

- The End -
