| The spam empire strikes back.. Well, because of the international problem, we cannot just push a complete stop against this type of DDOS.
This is practically no different than mad customers blocking the entrance to a shopping center.
Wonder if the enforcement would have been a different story if it had happened to Wal-mart's or other large e-commence on a Black Friday. (Don't bring up the mafiaboy story...) |

| Actually, maybe Google should fight spam?
The have the technology, they have the money, they can build it...
If Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon all got together to crush spam, they probably could probably do it.
I would love to see the search engines try it. Google does a pretty good job blocking spam already on Gmail. Can say across 20 Gmail accounts, I've only ever gotten 1 spam email.
Of course, if these same bunch of misfits (the Russians) want to target AOL, they have my blessing. AOL may stop some spam, but they sure like delivering it! |

I never understood why it is so hard to track down spammers. I mean sheesh, they GIVE you a website to go to. Go to the website, find the owner, subpeona their records, trace the spammer. All together, your talking about 4-5 hours per spammer tops.
This is seriously managable.

It would depend on jurisdiction and evidence that can be gathered.
Many ISPs would not be turning over the information without the warrant (unless it's AT&T).
Remember wicked VS Steve (GRC). No ISPs were reported to be cooperating to shut down those DDOS bots that wicked used to drop the grc.com website. |

How do I trace a spammer using a stolen credit card to buy web hosting via a proxy? |
