Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Talkback I fully endorse this method - well done Lycos; politicians, organisations, companies, and institutions are either powerless or too pathetic to address the whole spamming issue - so power to the people.

Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Talkback My idea: Join Lycos Mail. I've been a user since nearly 1999 and never (not once, surprisingly) received any spam. I use Yahoo Mail too and recommend them, but have on occassion gotten spam (not in months now).

Lycos should send its zombie army home

Talkback I have to say that Lycos is in the right ball park. DDoS is not an issue, since the spammers are NOT legit. NO LEGIT COMPANY SPAMS, so therefore their servers are not legit and should be removed from the internet.

Lycos denies attack on zombie army

Talkback Go to http://lycos.co.uk. I think the joke is on Lycos. Click on the Make Love Not Spam link and it takes you to http://makelovenotspam.com/intl/direct.html? lang=en®ion=uk, which is broken. Shorten it to http://makelovenotspam.com/ and you get...

Lycos zombie army takes Web sites offline

Talkback Well done Lycos - you have even made the internet gurus, who have sat on their hands for so long get off them - if only to wring them on behalf of the spammers. The only good spammer is an offline one!

Lycos should send its zombie army home

Talkback I've no desire to defend Lycos, but didn't they say that their aim is not to take the spammer's web servers down, but only to use up a little bandwidth so that the spammer's have to face a financial cost to their enterprise?

Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Talkback We're not defending the spammers, we're just saying that this process Lycos had dreamed up is badly designed and irresponsible. Also if the program can transmit the information regarding the sites it's attacking then what's to stop Lycos taking...

Lycos anti-spam campaign bites the dust

Talkback What ever the perceived faults of the Lycos plans are, I still throw my resounding support behind industry initiatives like this. Granted the Lycos initiative may be cowboyesque in its own way, but action must be taken against the bandwidth sapping...

Lycos anti-spam campaign bites the dust

Talkback I am very surprised at the resistance Lycos received for "makelovenotspam". You can argue about legality all day long, but you can't avoid the simple fact that Lycos came up with the best way (so far) to combat the problem.

Talkback The feebleminded fools who agonize over Lycos' attempt to allow us to defend ourselves against sleazebags with no ethics have ensured another victory for the bad guys. Hooray for the Internet League of Nations!

Lycos anti-spam site hit by hackers

Talkback I would like to congratulate Lycos for his action. After reading the statement on Lycos website, it is the same as dealing with a criminal, a criminal. It would be absolutely delightful if other sites take the same courageous action and implement...

Lycos should send its zombie army home

Talkback I agree with the article that Lycos whether they claim there motivation was to "slow down" or to do a true denial of service, the end result was a denial of service for some. Couldn't someone who then doesn't agree with the way Lycos operates make...

Talkback Support the Spammers and slam Lycos - LMAO at you fools. Guess I should get in on the SPAM wagon and grab some cash for myself. Why? Because there are millions of SPAM supporters out there who purchase via SPAM everyday!

Lycos launches anti-spam zombie army

Talkback Lycos has the best idea yet. how can people defend the spammer criminals? Foolish are the ones who would rather spend dough on a spam filter while tying up more of their computer's resources and hard earned money.

Lycos anti-spam weapon melts away

Talkback I can't wait until Lycos presents us with the anti-spam tool. It's about time somebody does something about it. Not only is it annoying but its very much unwanted. Any ISP who blocked me from having access to download this tool would definately...
