Blue Security folds under spammer's wrath

Israeli anti-spam startup Blue Security decided on Tuesday to shutter its aggressive anti-spam service, citing threats of further--and more malicious--attacks on its service and users.

The tactics where working though.

The spammer himself is inresponsible for starting the darn thing after all.

His attack which in short is blackmail at first and then initialising a dDos attack is not something you expect from spammers. So Blue Security is not to blame. However, a criminal like pharmamaster is much to blame, and I'd like to see him bleed financially for this action, besides some time in jail (I figure a year or 30 would be enough to start with)
