| Yes Joe did do that and I agree with him, this raised awareness of this issue that he probably wouldn't have gotten if he'd just turned it off and disappeared. As others elsewhere had noted, this attack would not have been possible were it not for lax security of the networks involved and, to some extend, the lax security of home users so kudos to Joe for mashing everyone's face (including mine) into it.
We use (well I guess used) Osirusoft and we too were temporarily affected by this blanket blacklist but we figured it out really quickly (along with the help of his message in the bounce, 'Stop using Osirusoft...') and although it did somewhat impact us I do not bear ANY hardfeelings against Joe AT ALL. In my opinion he did the right thing given the circumstances. |
