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.

I totally support Blue Securities objectives and tactics. I personally believe the time is now to return to cruel and unusal punishment. I think that people especially crimminal elements that push spam or attacks on our PC's should be sought out and severely punished. The amount of time and money spent by businesses and consumers alike is getting out of hand. We need International intervention and cooperation to shut down these people. I think Blue security had it right, send a one for one message back to the advertiser that is promoting the spam. I suggest that we blackhole the advertisers after reaching a certain threshold of spam. If you don't want to be blackholed then don't support spam. It is that simple. Fuck the spammers they don't have any right to using my PC or my bandwidth that I pay for without my express permission. I have every right to attack the sites that are paying for the spammers. It is time we as consumers band together and fight the largest spam advertisers in a true cyber war. If we don't fight back we will lose the internet to these jerks. People are already ceasing their use of the internet because they can't keep their computers protected. I think their are more of us white hats then bad guys and we can in a coordinated fashion out think them and make them wish they had never thought of pissing off millions of people. If millions of people decide your company is supporting spam and stop buying your products then companies will stop paying for spam. Look at what happened to Sony recently with their code to protect DRM. Sony has lost big time. The way to stop spam is to stop paying for it.
