Spam-Court hit by DDOS

During the month of June, 2007, spammers have mounted several Distributed Denial of Service attacks, designed to shut down any sites that have been gathering evidence about their antics.

They set their sites on Spamhaus but with little success, because they are well protected.
They mounted an attack on Castlecops - the premier Phish combat site, but to no avail.
Next they set their sites on URIBL and caused them two or three days of grief before the attack fizzled out.
Another fizzler was SURBL - again a two day wonder before they gave up, admitting defeat.

But the one that caught everyone's imagination was the sharpest thorn in their side. This was a little site that was hitting way above its lightweight status. Spam-Court was a sleeper. A little site but with great research. A small group (maybe two to four people) spent many hours researching the spammers who congregated at a "bulker" biz forum and started creating a dossier on some of its contributers.

Whenever anyone there posted any messages about illegal operations, the Spam-Court team noted it down, did a few Google searches, and found out more about them.

And that's where the story gets really interesting. Little by little, bit by bit, they started publishing their findings, all gleaned from looking around the Internet. When the bulker biz inhabitants discovered that their cover was being blown, thet got more than just a little hot under the collar, why, they blew their stacks. This could not be! Nobody should dare to unmask their true identities! Such mischievous behaviour might lead to all sorts of unpleasnt consequences, like their arrests.

So our spammy group at bulkers called for an all out attack on spam-court, to deal to them in much the same way as many of them had previously dealt to Blue Security a year ago.
You might be wondering what it was that got them so riled up?

Over the next few days, you will be able to read the contents of Spam-Court's postings right here. Of course, Spam-Court won't stay down for long. Every day the spammers use their zombie bot-nets for DDoS attacks is a day spent not using them for spamming. And they can't countenance that for long!
