Blue Frog: Blue Security Brings Us Yet Another Abusive DDOS “Anti-Spam” Program

Will people never learn? Apparently not, as California’s Blue Security brings us Blue Frog, YADDASP (Yet Another DDOSing Anti-Spam Program).

The underpinning of start-up Blue Security’s Blue Frog is the “Do Not Intrude” registry. Users register up to three email addresses with the registry, and when spam comes to a registered address, the program looks up the spamvertised website, finds forms on the site which can be filled out (say an order form, or an email contact form) and for each spam received, the system fills out one of the forms on the site - not with an order, but with a demand to stop sending spam.

Of course, in enough volume such form-submissions can easily cripple a webserver, and that’s exactly the intention of Blue Frog.

In otherwords, to create a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack.
