InboxRevenge.com members who are trying to log in are getting time outs. Another DDoS has been going on for several hours now. Our server is off line for now, so they are attacking nothing.
As before, our strategy has not been to try to weather the attack head on. The reason we have accomplished so much in fighting internet crime is that we are patient and take the long view. We will can go off line and come back as often as necessary. Meanwhile this blatantly criminal attack exposes the attackers to greater scrutiny from law enforcement.
The best strategy for our members is to continue submitting reports on illegal websites to registrars, and to continue to get the word out about the fraudulent nature of spamvertised websites. As long as there is a person on the planet who thinks "Canadian Pharmacy" and "My Canadian Pharmacy" are in Canada, our work is not done.
Tell some friends about the following sources of information, put some links on your own websites, consider becoming a reviewer for SiteAdvisor or WebOfTrust to make sure anyone who tries to research a domain mentioned in a spam will find accurate information in the top search engine results:
The Spamwiki -- If possible, mention specific spamvertised brands and link to their spamwiki pages. This is an opportunity to educate people that buying from spammers means sharing your personal and credit card information with criminals:
