AntiSpam Vigilantes and Worse
Late July had some rough days for spammers.Early morning, sipping my coffee and reading news sites, I find this…”Russia’s Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered in Apartment”
Then a little later in the day (of course still drinking coffee), I check the news sites again and come up with this item… “Spam protest service criticized as vigilante”
Certainly the extreme fringe here… murder and vigilantism.
While we can’t be sure the murder was due to spam (even though the company involved was a very well known and disliked), we can be sure that the second “vigilante” instance is due to pure annoyance, frustration and of course, turning a buck off of others annoyance and misfortune.
Get a piece of mail that you deem as spam (perhaps others don’t but apparently there’s no need to care about others) and automatically initiate a “Denial-of-Service” (DoS) attack.
Wild West justice lives.
“We don’t need no trial marshal, we’ll string the varmint up ourselves”.
Initially the DoS service is free but and I quote from the article… “[They] might eventually charge new users”. Surprise.
We need to “get the school marm” and “learn these folks” that there’s better ways to do things. The Wild West disappeared a century ago.
Now excuse me. I’ve got to "circle the wagons" and then "brand” some software.
