    A take from the nerd media…….

    Following on from the story about spammers attacking Blue Security’s anti-spam system, CBR is reporting that Six Apart, which runs the popular LiveJournal and TypePad blogging services, has become a collateral victim. Six Apart told its millions of bloggers it had experienced ‘intermittent and limited availability for TypePad, LiveJournal, TypeKey, sixapart.com, movabletype.org and movabletype.com’, before resolving the issue in the early hours of Wednesday. ‘[The spammers are] trying to rip apart the internet just to make our community stop fighting back against spam,’ Blue Security’s chief executive Eran Reshef said, adding that he knows who’s behind the attack.

    now i turn the tables and let you digest this email I received from one of the devilish scum……



    Dear Blue Frog Member,

    As a follow-up to our previous emails, and, as promised, we are stepping up in the fight against Blue Security.

    The Blue Frog member email database has been compromised, and is currently being distributed worldwide to spammers and to the public. Attached to this email, you will find a zip file of the Blue Frog database, which includes your own personal or business email address(es). If you have not uninstalled Blue Frog yet, we highly suggest you do so now in order to avoid your involvement in this war any further.

    Leaving your email address on the Blue Frog list is a risky choice, as we will uphold our promise not only to increase your spam by 20 times the amount you are receiving now, but to continue to make this list publically available as well. Also, as the Blue Frog member database is updated, we will find more creative ways in which to use it, and frequently release it to whomever we wish.

    Blue Security, Inc

    ….and yet a follow-up from the fiendish fux came soon after….



    BlueSecurity Important Update
    ——————————

    You are being emailed because you are a BlueSecurity user.

    Today, BlueSecurity database became known to worst spammers. Within 48 hours, the database will be published on the Internet, and your email will be open to a community of spammers. After this, you will see that spam to your mailbox increases 10 – 20 fold.

    BlueSecurity was illegally attacking spammers, now spammers fight back!

    REMOVE BLUE FROG FROM YOUR TRAY ASAP TO AVOID GETTING MORE SPAM!!!!

    We, the spammers, have analyzed software of BlueSecurity, and found a lot of malicious code. This includes: ability to send mass mail to users. Ability to attack websites with Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS), and update functionality, which can install Trojan software on your computer and turn your computer into zombie.

    BlueSecurity is using your computers to illegally attack sites including non-spam sites. They decide who is to be attacked today. And they have been noticed to attack many non-spam websites.

    But now, attacked sites fight back. We are using their own database of users to send millions of spam messages to. You are one of these poor folks.

    UNINSTALL BLUE FROG NOW!!!

    You will ask how the Database leaked???

    Its simple. BlueSecurity approach DOES NOT WORK. They have publish encrypted database for spammers, so they can remove emails from their lists, yet they can’t see the emails.

    What BlueSecurity didn’t realize is that after you removed the emails, its quite simple to figure what emails were removed. How can BlueSecurity be so stupid??? I don’t know.

    But after scanning 100 gigabytes of email addresses, we now have 99% of all BlueSecurity users. And guess what, they can’t do anything about that.

    Because YOU CAN NOT ILLEGALY ATTACK PEOPLE and expect to continue operations.

    As of today, BlueSecurity project is BUSTED. They will eventually shut their website. Because YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

    The reason you will be getting A LOT OF SPAM is BlueSecurity.

    REMOVE BLUE FROG. AND NEVER INSTALL IT AGAIN.

    BlueSecurity lists a USA address as their place of business, whereas their main office is in Tel Aviv. BlueSecurity is run by a few Russian born Jews, who have previously been spamming themselves. They do not take money for downloading their software, they do not take money for removing emails from their lists.

    How do you think they make money? We don’t know… But they could be

    1.Using your computer to send spam themselves.
    2.Hired to attack other sites
    3.Asking for randsom after attack

    They have no visible revenue stream, and 500,000 computers sitting there working for them. What are they doing?

    Whatever it is UNINSTALL BLUE FROG, THEN GUESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

    ……considering that the site @ http://www.bluesecurity.com is back up and (plenty) running, methinks I will GLADLY continue to utilize their services in an (obviously successful) attempt at fighting back the relentless spammer hordes, who need nothing else but to FUCKING DIE!!!!

    btw, you idgets should LEARN TO SPELL!

    I still think it was a bit off that Blue security dumped the DDos onto Six Apart (whatever they have done that maybe was not 100% kosher), they should have known if they started to have an effect that the spammers would try something. Having a plan worked out with whichever ISP host their main servers would have been a good start.

    As for giving spammers a hard time, hey anything that cuts down on the 100 or so mails a day I get would be good. I remember before spam was the problem it now is (and I do feel very old writing that), it would be so nice to go back to an inbox with just mail you want to read.

    Blue Security DID NOT intentionally want to give SixApart a DDOS… -_- They didn’t even use them to ‘lighten the load’, because the DDOS had originally stopped! Just when they thought it had stopped, they wanted to contact their customers and let them know that things were being fixed! But then the DDOS started again on Blue Security, and it is THAT which got SixApart down.

    Ok, so it was not intentional just old fashion bad timing. Sound like they could do with something like status.livejournal.org in the future.

    Anyway I don’t want to distract from the real bad guys, the spammers, who’s DDos start all this in the first place.

    Blue Security Gives Up, Spammer Wins
    The anti-spam venture embroiled in a denial-of-service attack that brought down millions of blogs two weeks ago has closed shop. One observer wonders why Blue Security wasn’t better prepared.

    I saw, a win for the spammers, no other way to spin it.

    I guess you ‘ve seen this Digg story about uninstalling the client as spammers are already trying to take over the network

    At least they proved the technology works enough to have an effect on spammers and I see that a few people have start open source clones of blue frog, so maybe we have not heard the last from them. Now if someone with a big pot of cash could give them backup, someone like Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo or Google, they all have multiple large datacenters, so would be much hard to DDOS. Maybe they could have a lasting effect.
