Fellow members of the community
As you all know, Blue Security decided to stop its anti-spam service and look for other opportunities to utilize our technology.

Unfortunately, the violent attacks on our site and DNS provider had escalated (see here for details). As a result. we decided to shut down all our web sites to avoid additional attacks that may certainly affect other ISPs and website owners.

At the moment, we have no way to communicate this to our community, apart from talking to the press and using this forum. It saddens us that we cannot continue to update you and other members of the community, but we believe that this is the right thing to do for the sake of a more peaceful Internet.

Thank you for your support

It has been my pleasure to have seen your small company bring so many diverse individuals into a community. Fred will be missed, but the rest of you will always find an open door where his supporters gather.

Good Luck in all future ventures.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and the way you waged this fight. You have my moral support in having closed down Blue. I posted a rather lengthy (perhaps too lengthy) balance sheet here.

Best regards.

Good day Eran.

I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of making this "Sticky" so that those who have been clamoring for you to make an appearance won't miss it.

Any luck interesting the government into looking into the criminal acts involved in taking the frog down?

Not sinister -- a direct result of the sudden increase in Blue Frog membership. Spammers realized they might have a problem on their hands if people were actually going to utilize the service.

Thanks for doing the opposite of what you promised Blue Security! My spam has increased dramatically and now your'e giving up.

I guess it's human nature to place blame. Well if anyone is to blame, it's the lowlife slime lovingly referred to as spammers.

OK lets just take a look at it.

Prior to Firetrust including Blue Frog reporting capabilities into MWP myself and countless thousands of others had never heard of Blue Security.

This Forum was actually a split off discussions in the MailWasher Forums on CC.

Firetrust increased both the knowledge of and use of the Blue Frog system. In doing so Fred began to make headway in the fight to clear our names from Spam lists and attracked the attack of spamming fanatics.

To blame Blue Security or FireTrust is ludicrous.

I did some checking and have found that there was no real spam problem prior to your birth. Hmm I wonder if there could be a connection there.
