Anti-spam services under attack

Spamhaus, SURBL, and URIBL are presently the target of a DDoS attack, allegedly the work of the same group responsible for the DDoS attacks against BlueSecurity last year. The attack is being produced by a botnet running malware known as "Storm", which was widely distributed as an attachment to spam in January this year.
