maybe Blue Security were protecting the website you linked to - there're more adverts and cookies floating around that site than any I've visited recently.

As for Blue Security themselves - what a bunch of *shop fronts*! If everybody showed the same lack of backbone - we wouldn't have a web to surf.

It may seem like I'm being heartless to some, but that site was set up specifically to combat the kind of cyber terrorists they've capitulated to! the message is: we give up, you win.

wussies.

That is weak sauce. how do we know they were really protecting anyone in the first place? What's worse is that the client software itself could be a security hole.

What about the 500,000 people that used their service? This definitly seems like fraud gone wild volume fifty. There is no control, let me relate this to a bank. If there is a bank robery the police will do whatever it takes often spending more than the money that was originally going to be taken from the bank to stop the theifs. Why? Is it because the police are on a power trip? No thats not why. It because if they didn't stop that bank robery regardless of the cost, it could jepordise the entire banking system! WHERE DOES 90% of IDENTITY THEFT COME FROMT???? The internet!!!!!!!!! #1 majior crime that cannot be stopped and the people don't get caught. DUH! The internet has alot of people with alot of personal information about these people and their money, it will get stolen and used for others profit unfairly until there are consequences for their actions. These people arn't above the law. The law just thinks it is above its people. You know that guy in England that hacked our department of defense? Yeah they found him no problem, even though he didn't even take anything or profit at all. Now you don't think they can catch someone that uses your credit card to buy stuff he keeps or sells for profit? RIDICULUS TO THINK THAT THEY CAN'T. Its a virual world with a real economy and something worth protecting. Spam is ruining the internet. The internets growth has been greatly stunted by spam, companies that arn't held accountable, and people who have no laws to govern them. What will it take before a higher power steps in and takes control of the situation? Is that really going to help? Case in point; remember prohibition. Its all about too many people on one network and no control. We've done it to ourselves.

But now that we know, you'd think we could come up with standards that stop it. But acctually we just sit and wait while technologies come out that furtur exploit our system. Eventually crippling our internet until no one will want to be a part of it. I am telling you that as the internet becomes much more portable and it follows us everywhere, we will definitly want less and less of it until we either go crazy from all the spam and porn, etc or we become a recluse. I know I sound CRAZY but you'll see in the next five years, how much better life would be, how much faster life would be and less troublesome life would be without this **** that we don't have to put up with.
