I hate to be the bearer of bad news to spammers :) but based on bluesecurity's tactics I can make a guess about attitude of their people and its such that DoS attack on them will only cause themmore determination to continue and I suspect to majority of their users as well (and publicity is also likely to bring them more users).
Moving the site to TypePad was incorrect way of dealing with attack though; but its actually not the first time I've heard of the site using a blog as temporary page while their primary site is down due to DoS... - some education on what blogs are good for is in order. But as it is looks like bluesecurity is moving to prolexic which claim to deal with just such situations. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william () elan net
