Story: Lycos should send its zombie army home
Genuine businesses affected
Regardless of the cause or owner of this particular problem, it is always the small businesses that are affected. We host three small business websites and have recommended Lycos to at least 5 other website owners. All of us are now totally down due to these problems, with no updates forthcoming from Lycos as to when normal service will resume, and losing money by the minute.
I fully support stopping the spammers, but not when our own websites are affected. We are now going to have to seek an urgent migration to another host service to restore our business credibility. I bet there will be no compensation forthcoming when blame and ownership are confirmed.
