Melior enters agreement to protect SORBS against SoBig.F-related dDoS attacks
As of Thursday, August 28th, PCs infected by variants of MS Blaster & SoBig.F have been linked to large-scale dDoS attacks on providers offering "Anti-SPAM Blacklists",
such as Osirusoft and SORBS.net - Osirusoft permantently shut their doors, causing wide-spread disruptions in e-mail deliveries, including the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which used Osirusoft to eliminate a lot of Spam messages (UCE).
Melior, Inc. entered an agreement with SORBS and SPEWS, two of the remaining Blacklist providers, to provide iSecure dDoS-Defense systems in Brisbane/Australia and Connecticut/USA, in order to keep Anti-Spam Blacklist providers and the e-mail systems of their users (typically Government- and large commercial entities) online and operating normally.
"This is probably only one of the first instances to utilize the large network of compromised machines from the recent exploits, targeting all of the Blacklist Providers. Unfortunately, entire sections of any Government or eCommerce providers could be selected as well. We at Melior are pleased to be able to provide a working solution for SORBS and SPEWS to defend against these Denial-of-Service attacks."
Matt Gair, Co-Founder & VP of Strategic Business Development

Update:
iSecure dDoS Defense Systems have been delivered to SORBS and SPEWS in the U.S. - the iSecure system sent to Australia was damaged in transport, a replacement system is sent to be set up.
