BlueFools

BlueSecurity have made complete and utter fools of themselves. They finally managed to get their site back online again yesterday with a defiant message against the spammers. "Great", thinks I, "we shall be able to keep fighting the good fight". What I didn't know was that the pillocks had simply set their domain to point to their blog on TypePad. No I do not kid. The DDoS that had taken their site down was now headed straight towards the Six Apart network, thus killing TypePad, LiveJournal, Movable Type and all the other Six Apart hosted sites.

What a bunch of fucking morons. Now their site appears to be completely down, as does BlueFrog. I'm 100% pro-frog, but 100% anti-shifting-a-DDoS-onto-someone-else's-network. I'm guessing that this one very stupid move may signal the end of the BlueFrog. They've fucked up good and proper and the spammers will now win. Way to go BlueSecurity.
