Limbo | Bad milestone So that's it then? Anyone who gets in the way of spamming and/or other illegal activities gets taken down. This would seem to set a very bad precedent. What happens if an agency of our own or another country's government goes after these people? What happens if another group tries to thwart spam? They get blown out of the water. This defeat would seem to suggest that the dark side of the internet has the upper hand and there's no obvious way to change that.
What next? DSL Reports and other forums with security info get taken down because they interfere? Damn scary if you ask me.

That is what happens when organized crime organizations get involved. And in Russia they are so powerful that the state doesn't even go after them. The Russian organized crime groups have businessmen killed when they don't pay extortion over there.

Actually DSL reports and other security sites have been taken down by DoS attacks in the past.
My belief is that how hard you are taken down depends on how trouble you are creating for the bad guys. The more trouble you create for them, that they are aware of, the more severe the retribution they will try to levy against you.
By this measure Blue Security must have been on the right track. |
