Lycos Europe confronts strong resistance in spam war
In declaring war on spammers, Lycos Europe has stirred a formidable enemy.
The online community/portal company’s offensive against spammers began this week, when it started distributing a screensaver that conducts a denial-of-service attack against sites that market products via spam.
The weaponry has had an impact, decreasing the response time of some of the targeted sites by as much as 85 percent, Lycos Europe said.
The enemy, however, has apparently rallied its troops in a counteroffensive.
