Spammers = 1, Internet = 0

This is mega disturbing. Bring Pharmamastertjie to south africa, we will sort him out.
 
so sad :(

I was just about to join them.

Although I did notice that they keep on mentioning a "small company" could never handle the load i.e. a big company certainly could!!

Maybe a buy out soon?

Very very sad :(

This campaign of intimidation was followed by a sophisticated denial of service attack against Blue Security's website. According to Blue Security, a renegade Russian language speaking spammer known as PharmaMaster succeeded in bribing a top-tier ISP's staff member into black holing Blue Security's former IP address (194.90.8.20) at internet backbone routers. This rendered Blue's main website inaccessible outside Israel.

Very sad - scary that one spammer can have so much power. I hope they caught the guy who took the bribe - do him for cyber sabotage - uum, 10 years in jail enough?!
