A cyberwar is being waged between two companies over a recent move made by one of them.
Spam-fighting organization, Spamhaus, which works with e-mail providers around the globe to block spam from entering Inboxes, has been in a battle over the last week that has watched distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks exceed by several times the typical attacks inflicted on organizations.
Spamhaus hosts a blacklist made up of servers that it believes, are designed to send spam around the world. Recently, the organization added a Dutch Web hosting company named Cyberbunker to its blacklist. Cyberbunker, which gets its name from its headquarters in a former NATO bunker and allows its customers to maintain their anonymity, has built its business on accepting any and all customers, except those engaged in child pornography and terrorism-related activities.
